In 2024, what started as a crazy Halloween idea in my garden became something much bigger than I ever imagined.

With the help of family, friends and an incredibly supportive community, Wicked Wonderland was brought to life to bring families together, create magical Halloween memories and raise vital funds for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.

Over the last two years, hundreds of families have visited the display and, together, we've raised an amazing £4,550.75 for Bluebell Wood. The support has been overwhelming and has shown just how generous our community can be.

Throughout the year, I've been busy planning, building and transforming all sorts of unusual items into Halloween props, using recycled, repurposed or donated items, giving them a new lease of life while helping to create something magical for visitors.

Bringing Wicked Wonderland to life takes hundreds of hours of work, a lot of imagination and, if I'm honest, a fair bit of Halloween madness! But seeing families enjoying the display, hearing children talk about their favourite props and knowing we're helping to raise money for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice makes it all worthwhile.

This Halloween, Wicked Wonderland will return from 28th to 31st October 2026, with new attractions, new surprises and even more Halloween magic.

Wicked Wonderland remains completely free to visit, with all costs for materials, props, decorations and maintenance covered by me personally. This means every donation made by visitors goes directly to supporting the incredible work of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.

Bluebell Wood supports babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, as well as their families. They provide respite and overnight care, counselling, music therapy, sibling support, home visits and so much more. It over £6 million each year to keep the hospice running, with only a small proportion coming from statutory funding. That means support from fundraisers, local businesses and people like you is vital.

💜 If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it will make a real difference to the children and families supported by Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.

And if you can't donate right now, sharing this page with friends, family and colleagues would mean just as much.

Together, let's make Wicked Wonderland 2026 the biggest, spookiest and most successful fundraiser yet.

Thank you for your support.
