This Halloween, find the lost pumpkins hidden on a trail through Castle Ashby Gardens by the Wicked Witch. There is a spooky cavern on the way – enter if you dare! – and see if you can find the Wicked Witch. Children and toddlers will be given a Pumpkin Hunt sheet to fill in. At the end of the trail, children (3-16 years old) will receive a Halloween gift bag and toddlers (1-2 years old) will receive a magical fairy tale book!

Pre-order a toffee apple or a Kids Spooky Lunch Box (at check-out), which includes a ham or cheese sandwich, ‘zombie’ sausage roll, a mini pumpkin (a satsuma), cheesy witch fingers (Wotsits crisps) and a Halloween-themed cupcake. Seasonal snacks, hot and cold food and drinks will be available at the Tearooms and waffles at the Pergola. You can also see animals in the menagerie (located in the gardens) and enjoy the play area by the tea rooms.
