The Halloween Garden at Holkham

Holkham Hall invites families to its enchanting Halloween Garden event. Visitors can creep through creaky garden gates for a day filled with spooky adventures, ghoulish games, and mischievous puppetry led by Vince Vampire and Bog Witch. Activities include a treasure hunt, monster drawing, and a Halloween dance-off. Get creative with ghostly crafts, enjoy spellbinding storytelling, and follow a Halloween-themed trail for a chocolatey treat. Little witches, vampires, and monsters can also pick and carve pumpkins, and get their faces painted amidst eerie decorations.
