Spooky Halloween Trail - The Curse of Chute Wood

This October half term, step into a world of Halloween magic at Dunstable Downs and help break The Curse of Chute Wood.

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Pick up your trail sheet and create your own magical spell book before setting off on a spooky adventure through the Downs and into Chute Wood.

Along the way, you'll meet a cast of Halloween characters including Sergeant Skull, a giant spider, Luna the Black Cat, the Woodland Witch and many more. There'll be pumpkin tossing challenges, following hidden clues left by Dunstable's friendly ghost, broomstick races, and potion mixing to create an 'anti-curse' at our ancient cauldron.

Perfect for families, this outdoor adventure is a great way to enjoy the autumn countryside, get outdoors, and make magical half-term memories.

£3 per child per trail. Booking not needed.
