This October half-term, step into The Garden of Curious Creatures

A terrible mishap has left Kimberley the Kraken stranded in the Bothy. To help her return home, you'll need to brew a magical potion. There's just one problem... the potion ingredients have been scattered across the garden and are now in the care of some very curious creatures.

Explore the Walled Garden, seek out the creatures and complete their challenges to earn special potion ingredients. Each time you discover an ingredient, add it to your potion by drawing it inside the matching coloured wax seal on your trail sheet.

Once you've collected every ingredient, make your way to the Bothy, where Kimberley is waiting. Will your potion be powerful enough to send her home?

The trail is available from Visitor Reception, costs £3.50, and includes a trail sheet and a painting set prize.

Perfect for little adventurers and families looking to enjoy some autumn fun outdoors.

Good luck, adventurer. Kimberley the Kraken's fate is in your hands!

Come along on Wednesday 28 October, and challenge your family to Orienteering around Attingham's parkland, with 3 new courses.

Head to the orienteering gazebo by the Walnut Tree, where the team from Wrekin Orienteers will guide you through the basics of orienteering before you head out on your own. Choose from 3 new courses and navigate the map with your family. Why not challenge yourself to see how quickly you can complete the route, or simply enjoy exploring the park at your leisure. 

Looking for an alternative to trick or treating this Halloween? 

Gather your mini monsters, bring your torch, and come dressed in your favourite costumes for a twilight adventure at Attingham.

Designed for younger children, this short walk through the woods at dusk includes a handful of Halloween-themed scenes and a chance to meet some friendly performers along the way. There'll be a few surprises to spot, but nothing too spooky, making it suitable for little ones.

Fancy dress is encouraged, so whether they're a witch, wizard, pumpkin or something completely different, come along and enjoy a relaxed Halloween outing together.

Fancy a treat? Refreshments will be available to purchase in the Stables Courtyard.
