Ilam Park: Tales at Twilight Family Guided Walk
As the seasons change and the nights draw in, join us to walk the darkening paths of Ilam Park and hear our strange and mysterious tales.
- Booking essential
Journey with us as the light fades and we tiptoe along the parkland paths for an ookey spooky adventure! Together we’ll light the way with candles and walk down from Ilam Hall, past the ancient church, along the river and back up the Battlestone path. We'll introduce you to our local ghosts, share scary stories from the long forgotten past and search for spooky creatures that hide across the Peak District!
Come along for a spooky experience and hear terrible tales for all the family! Bring your bravest self and we’ll provide the stories and the candles.
This event, like all our events is open to members of the National Trust and non-members. Money raised goes back into looking after the White Peak.
