Outside in the Great Court there will be fire performers while nature lovers can explore the Bat Trail in the Walled Garden and receive a Hotel Chocolat sweet treat at the end.
There will also be a ghost train that takes guests on a trip through the ‘terrifying tunnel’ or they can try their hand at axe throwing or visit the ‘picture-perfect’ pumpkin patch.
The Walled Garden Adventure Playground and the Pizza Café will also be open plus there’s a special Halloween-themed Afternoon Tea available in the Orangery Restaurant.
Hotel Chocolat will also be hosting a ‘cocoa adventure’ where guests can create handmade chocolate truffle spiders and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate at the famous Chocomobile.
In addition to the Halloween activities, visitors can explore the palace interiors and explore the autumnal colours of the ‘Capability’ Brown parkland with guided walks.
