About

Half Term Activities for Families: Time-Travelling Scarecrow Hunt
18 October – 2 November (exc. 20, 21 Oct)
This October half term, the Garden will be alive with time-travel magic!
The much-loved Great Scarecrow Hunt is back – and this year's scarecrows come from the past and the future! The Garden will be filled with colourful Time Traveller Scarecrows from across the ages (and beyond!).

Local organisations, schools and community groups have been hard at work dreaming up and building fabulous creations. Each scarecrow comes with its little backstory… your challenge is to spot them all!

It's a light-hearted adventure perfect for families, friends or anyone who loves a seasonal day out.
Beyond the trail, October is a spectacular month at Rococo Garden.

Trees and hedgerows put on a breathtaking display as the leaves turn from green to glowing shades of amber, crimson and gold. It's the kind of setting where a Roman warrior and a futuristic inventor might just cross paths…

So wrap up warm, bring your curiosity and get ready to travel through time – all without leaving Gloucestershire!
