Halloween Week

27 Oct 2012 - 3 Nov 2012

Our biggest event of the year! Dare you visit one of Britain’s most haunted castles this Halloween?

Ghost tours of this famously haunted castle sell out every year! (Pre booking essential - tickets aim to be available to buy online from February).

Visit the Ghostly Grotto during the day for family fun activities, magic shows and face painting. 

Every evening there is a fancy dress competition for witches and frightful monsters young and old!

After dusk the gardens are transformed by the Darkest Muncaster illuminations with a mile long route through the beautifully lit trees and shrubs that tower either side of the main drive. A spooky sound and light show plays across the castle. Dare you stay as darkness falls to enjoy a host of spooky tours as well as a special guest entertainer. 

For the really brave, we aim to make you scream if you dare to enter the Scary Maze!  (Not recommended for children under 12)

The café and gift shop are open until 8pm and the gardens are open until 9pm.
