October half-term

Join the hunt for the spiders at Felbrigg Estate. There are eight spider information stations lurking among the woodland – uncover a letter at each to spell out a word and collect a cookie prize*.

Notice signs of the season as you walk through the Victory V avenue of beech trees, surrounded by autumnal colour. Find the den building area or venture further to discover an icehouse built to look like a ruin.

Trail sheets are £3 each and can be bought from the welcome team between 10am-3.30pm every day throughout half term.

Over at the hall you'll find a glut of giant pumpkins from the garden decorating its grand front door. Open between 12noon and 4pm, inside you’ll find activities inspired by a taxidermy bird project including birdwatching, miniature nest building and origami crafting.

Don’t forget to head to the Walled Garden to spot all sorts of intriguing pumpkin specimens and metalwork creatures.

*Vegan-friendly. For allergen information please speak to a member of the team.
