Hallowtide Half Term Activities
Half term play activities are back at Hardwick with a Hallowtide twist!
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Play is back at Hardwick with the Elizabethan themes of Hallowtide weaved through the half term activities along with some spooky editions such as witches hat hoopla, broomstick barefoot walk, traditional apple games, and so much more!
There’s plenty of fun to be had in the Stableyard and a cosy hot chocolate and refreshments are just a stone’s throw away.

• Adult: £6.00
