Halloween at Haddon will see children embark on a spellbinding journey throughout the hall, where they’ll find something to captivate and enthral!
The Medieval Kitchens become home to The Apothecary, where children can ‘Guess the Scent’ and concoct their own herbal elixir to take home (adults are also welcome to get involved!).
Storytelling will feature in the Great Chamber, with a range of spooky stories shared throughout the day, while in the Banqueting Hall, at weekends from October 19th and Halloween on October 31st (from 11am-3pm), children will have the opportunity to meet and hold a real-life owl!
The Parlour will host Spell Writing Classes, offering quills, parchment and advice on how to scribe the perfect spell, which will then be rolled, tied and ready to take home. The Lower Courtyard is the place for broomstick making – where there’ll be daily demonstrations and the chance to make a mini broomstick to take home.
There’ll also be a make your own ghost craft workshop, creating the perfect spooky decoration for children to take home.
The Little School of Ecology also returns, offering children (with an adult) the chance to explore the ancient parkland with experienced guides, learning about the plants and animals that call this place home and discovering the mysterious superstitions, fascinating folklore and ancient beliefs that would have been so important to the people living and working here in the past. Before heading home, families can enjoy some ghoulish delights from Haddon’s restaurant, which is serving a Halloween-themed menu for the occasion, and then stop into Haddon’s pop-up gift shop, where Willbott's Wands, The Lost Cauldron and The Lonely Broomstick will be in situ, offering an array of magical goodies!
