Step Into Spells, Spirits and Seasonal Surprises

From 25 October – 2 November, visitors can lose themselves in atmospheric projections and creepy sound effects as the palace and gardens are transformed by magical spells. Brave the eerie new outdoor trail and keep your eyes peeled for restless spirits who might be roaming the grounds.  Designed to put visitors on edge, rather than push them over it, prepare for an exciting family designed adventure not to be forgotten.

Ghosts in Costume, Spirits in Residence

The ghosts will be in full ghoulish make-up and costume, which some visitors may find scary. Ghost detectors will also be in costume. Children must accompany their adults at all times, in case their adults get spooked! 

Hampton Court Palace has been haunted for hundreds of years and will be for hundreds more. Remember ghosts must be treated with respect. Be kind to them and allow them space to haunt in peace. 

Spirits, Stories and Seasonal Snacks

Ghosts will be roaming inside the palace and outside in the wilderness from 10:00 - 16:00. After all that exploring, listen to a spine-tingling story at our storytelling sessions before relaxing away from the ghouls with a Halloween-themed treat from the café. 

A spooky day out to remember forever, included in admission and bookable at www.hrp.org.uk or through your preferred agent.
