Halloween at Castle Hill Gardens October 30th 2026

Overview

A Day of Autumn Magic, Spooky Surprises & Family Fun

Step into the spellbinding world of Castle Hill Gardens this Halloween, where autumn colour, crisp leaves and twisting garden paths set the scene for a day of playful frights and seasonal wonder. Our Spooky Garden Trail returns - packed with mysterious clues, hidden surprises and enchanting moments waiting to be discovered. Keep your wits about you… the gardens have a few tricks up their sleeves. As you journey through the trail, you’ll uncover eerie delights and curious characters, all leading you toward a well‑earned Halloween prize at the end. Costumes are very much encouraged and our team will be keeping an eye out for the most imaginative, spooky and spellbinding outfits, with extra treats for those who truly embrace the magic of the day. Once your adventure through the gardens is complete, head to the West Wing, where the fun continues...
 
Entertainingly Different will be bringing their signature blend of lively, whimsical entertainment—perfect for young witches, wizards and brave explorers. Sparkle & Co will be offering spooky face‑painting, transforming little visitors into ghouls, ghosts, pumpkins and more. And while you’re there, enjoy a selection of homemade treats: including warming soup, delicious cakes, and hot and cold drinks, served from our cosy Halloween café.

Whether you’re wandering the gardens, enjoying the entertainment or simply soaking up the autumn atmosphere, there’s Halloween joy at every turn.
