Halloween in the House

Enter Wimpole Hall if you dare this Halloween!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Stand beneath the spider stairwell, draped with cobwebs and clinging creatures, look on at the frightful feast laid out in the dining room this spooky season, admire the pumpkin patch in the Yellow Drawing Room.

Those brave enough to venture into the basement will find floating candles and crafted bats.

During half term, on 27 and 29 October from 11.30-12pm there will be spooky story readings in Wimpole Hall for children age 4-8 years.
