Halloween at the Hall: After Dark – Dracula

This Halloween, step inside the shadows of Seaton Delaval Hall as Bram Stoker’s Dracula comes to life after dark.

  • Booking essential

Groups will be led on an immersive walk-through experience, complete with scares, surprises, and ghostly effects. Actors and soundscapes bring the story to life as you follow Dracula’s chilling journey, encounter his victims, and join the desperate race against time. Once the story draws to a close, discover if Dracula’s curse is still lingering, before enjoying a well-earned marshmallow by the firepit.

Guided element approximately 60 minutes, plus free time to enjoy refreshments and soak up the atmosphere of the Hall in a different light. Who knows, maybe the bats will even come out to play!
