October Half Term - Stranger Folk at Hughenden
Forget plastic fangs and horror films - this Halloween adventure crackles with old magic. British folklore sneaks into the real world, set against the backdrop of Hughenden.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Head to Hughenden this autumn and download the Stranger Folk app and begin an immersive adventure inspired by British folklore.
Families only need one mobile phone to play the game and can work together to heal a rift between the human and spirit worlds. Volume 1, ‘Crone Calling’, starts with a message from a mysterious Old Crone. As the story develops, you can meet sneaky goblins and cunning boggarts, while learning of strange goings-on.
The game can be played at a fast pace for around 20 minutes or you can take the whole day to complete the adventure, pausing for lunch then picking up where you left off.
Free WIFI is available on site, with the best signal at the stableyard and the Manor.
