Stranger Folk
Forget pumpkins and plastic fangs—this Halloween adventure crackles with old magic. British folklore sneaks into the real world, set against the backdrop of Snowshill Manor and Garden.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Download the Stranger Folk app to start your folklore magic adventure. Your guide, the Crone will direct you to the cracks where the stranger folk are sneaking in and help us close the gaps between their world and ours.
Wander the orchards where over forty varieties of old English apples grow and relax in the arts and crafts gardens where autumnal colours await you. You may even discover Charles Wade's more ghoulish items in the Manor as you try to find the hidden bats.
