Villainous tales and magical trails
Some of your favourite fairy tales tell a spookier story. This October, dress-up in your spookiest outfit and find the fairy tale stories hidden around the house and garden, as the villain takes the spotlight at Saltram.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Follow the clues to uncover the identity of each fairytale villain at each trail point through the house and garden and earn spell points along the way. Then make sure to head to the wonderful wand shop to graduate as a spell caster and collect your own wand for making magic on the rest of your visit. The pesky pumpkins will also be hiding high and low around the garden for you to spot as well as spooky games over on Saltram’s play lawn.
