Stranger Folk digital adventure: October half term at Ham House

Join us for a Halloween adventure game at Ham House and Garden this October half term.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Download the Stranger Folk app, available from visitor reception as you arrive, to start your spooky adventure, filled with goblins, old magic and more.

Families follow the folklore-inspired game along on one mobile phone and work together to immerse themselves in a rich story of physical play and strange goings-on, set against the backdrop of Ham House’s beautiful gardens. Play for a fast-paced 20 minutes or make it a day-long adventure to pause for scones, explore and pick up where you left off.

Included with admission. The activity runs while the site is open from 10am until closing at 5pm. Last entry is 4.30pm. This Halloween adventure is aimed at families with children aged 7 to 12 who like to all play together.
