Half-term Halloween at Hatchlands

Enjoy a spooky day out at Hatchlands Park this October half term.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us for some Halloween fun with a pumpkin hunt in the garden for the little ones and look out for the spooky creatures on our parkland trail. We've even got some broomsticks to help you on your way!

And from Sun 26 - Fri 31 Oct, 12-4pm don't forget to pop into the house for some spooky surprises too. Look out for the familiars hiding in the Drawing Room, follow the scent of woodsmoke to the witches’ cauldron or join the puppets' tea party in the library… if you dare!
