Halloween at Bolton Castle

Halloween fun – a dungeon, skeletons, witches and a cauldron.

Halloween is sure to be a hit for all the family is here and the courtyard and dungeon take a spooky theme. You might need to check the pulse of some of its long-term inhabitants, with a flurry of skeletons, a coffin, witches and a cauldron brew so potent that even the witches won’t go near it!  Death appears to have swung by for a visit, but elusive as ever, can you spot him? Plus there are costumes and props to try on for those ghoulish family photos! Free with entry.

If you fancy an evening’s treat after the visitors have left, there are two ticketed lanternlight evenings complete with tales of ghostly goings-on, one suitable for adults (over 10) and one for children. It’s time to try those stocks for size!

On these dates – 24th, 25th, 26th, 29th, 30th and 31st October there will be be storytelling at 1pm and the very popular Witches Trial at 2.15pm in the Great Chamber.

Included in our usual admission charges.
