Boars are hogging all the Halloween treats at Whipsnade

The ghoulish apple bobbing fun is all part of the zoo’s enrichment programme to stimulate the natural instinct of boars to forage for food.

A special Halloween themed activity week called Boo at the Zoo is running throughout the half-term break.

Visitors can enjoy a huge range of activities including pumpkin carving and a ghost hunt aboard the Jumbo Express steam train.

Little ones can try out their most devilish moves at a pumpkin party and the more studious can go to ghoul school to learn how to concoct spells.
