19 September–1 November 2026
We have noticed something unusual at the Arboretum.
Mysterious orange residents have appeared among the flowers, on the lawn, by the stream and even in a tree. According to our first observations, they are not dangerous. They are, however, rather unpredictable.
Some enjoy gardening. Others go fishing. Some cook, celebrate, socialise or simply relax. Their hobbies and habits seem surprisingly familiar.
Confirmed: the Pumpkin Folk have arrived at the Arboretum.
Find them on your autumn walk
The Pumpkin Folk are not gathered in one place. As you walk along the tree-lined avenue, you will discover them one by one, turning the autumn pumpkin exhibition into a playful exploration.
Each scene reveals another glimpse into their world, so you never quite know what might be waiting just a few steps ahead.
Where is the next Pumpkin Folk hiding? What is it doing? And which one will become your favourite?
