Stranger Folk

Forget pumpkins and plastic fangs—this Halloween adventure crackles with old magic. Stranger Folk is an adventure game where British folklore sneaks into the real world, set against the backdrop of Snowshill Manor and Garden.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Work together as a family using only one mobile phone to immerse yourself in a rich story of physical play and strange goings-on. Play for a fast-paced 20 minutes or make it a day-long adventure to pause for scones and pick up where you left off.

As the spirit and human worlds collide, sneaky goblins, cunning boggarts and Stranger Folk are slipping through the crack to stir up trouble! You are invited to gather your team, harness the elements and seal the rift before the creatures take hold.

Discover some of Charles Wade's more ghoulish items in the Manor.

Try your hand at cooking on an outdoor fire (Saturday and Sunday).
