Spooky Half Term Trail

This October half term, join us for a spooky-season themed activity trail.

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Children will be able to take part in a craft, before completing 10 activities at stations along our surfaced path into Chute Wood.

Each stop will feature a clue or challenge to solve, helping to piece together a puzzle and bring Halloween to life at Dunstable Downs.

A great way to enjoy the autumn season, get outdoors and create magical half-term memories with the whole family.
