Halloween Trail: Horace the Hunky Punk’s Very Gothic Gathering
Celebrate Halloween at Tyntesfield with our fun, family-friendly trail around the estate.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Explore Tyntesfield with Horace the Hunky Punk, a stone figure who has escaped his perch on top of the chapel.
Follow Horace around the estate and complete activities along the way. Horace needs your help to write a guest list, make decorations and find the perfect party outfit for his famous Gothic Gathering.
Finish the trail to earn a prize and help Horace get back home before the party starts.
