Halloween at Bolton Castle 2024
Bolton Castle near Leyburn in North Yorkshire has crafted the perfect ghostly scene for some Halloween shenanigans this October. Join us for half-term for trails and activities with a ghostly vibe – good for little ones as well as all the family – and it’s a value day out too - with most of our Halloween activities free with entry.
Our family trail is popping with pumpkins and dark corners include silent witches (the worst kind!) with their bubbling cauldrons and disgusting recipes to inflict their evil spells on visitors who come too close! Our dungeon is scarily dotted with skeletons proving how hard it is to escape with these poor souls succumbing to the castle’s spell. There’s no better location for Halloween than a medieval castle nestled deep in Wensleydale …. especially a castle where no one can hear you scream!
Plus there’s storytelling upstairs with our own costumed castle resident at 1pm on 26, 27 & 28 October and 30 & 31 October where Halloween is given an extra chill for little ones with tales of castle ghouls and funny frolics to make you laugh.
In addition and to really give spooky a capital ‘S’, Bolton Castle is running a ‘Castle by Lanternlight’ tour from 6 – 8pm on Monday 28 October. The numbers are limited to 30 people and includes a glass of wine or soft drink. Tickets are £20 per person.
Wednesday 30 October, 4.30pm to 6.30pm, offers a Halloween family tour of Bolton Castle. Enjoy the castle on a private tour and hear spooky stories to thrill all the family. This brings alive the tales of ghostly ghouls and spooky goings on – suitable for all ages. Tickets are £10 per adult and £5 concession and includes a drink.
