Get spooky this October half term at Croft Castle

Willow the witch has left you with a very important task. See if you can follow the family trail through the gardens, deciphering the clues and discovering different spells and potion ingredients as you go. Cast the incantation at the end to claim your prize. The trail is running daily throughout the holiday, from Saturday 27 October to Sunday 4 November.

Then on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 October, don your scariest fancy dress and grab your trusty broomstick for our spooktacular weekend. For £6 per child, you can enjoy pumpkin carving, crafts, storytelling, broomstick racing and more. Find out more about our events here.

Don't forget to dress up and play games in the castle and go wild in our natural and mini-castle play areas. Autumn is also the perfect month to tick off some of your '50 things to do' in our 1500 acre parkland. Play conkers, climb a tree, catch a falling leaf and go bird watching in our bird-hide in Fishpool Valley.
