- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
As the spirit and human worlds collide, sneaky goblins, cunning beggars and Stranger Folk are slipping through the crack to stir up trouble. Gather your team, harness the elements and seal the rift before the creatures take hold!
Download the app before your visit via the Apple app store or Google play as the mobile signal at The Vyne can be intermittent at busy periods. Once you’ve downloaded the app, the adventure starts with a voice note from a mysterious Old Crone, who becomes your guide.
She’ll direct you through a series of silly and magical tasks in The Vyne’s gardens to help find the Stranger Folk and decide their fate. Have you ever charmed a worm or wassailed a tree? Have a go and test your creative skills this October in this new game.
