The Halloween at Holkham special event will run from October 26 until October 29 and see fun and spooky events, such as inviting children to decorate their own Halloween themed treats or follow a trail round the hall to solve a murder mystery.

Guests can also board a special Halloween Express which will take into the walled garden to experience an encounter with a real-life owl or listen to mystical tales read by Holkham’s storyteller.

The venue invites people to dress for the occasion so they have the chance of taking part in a fancy dress parade or of making their costumes even scarier with face painting.

The event begins on Thursday, October 26. Tickets start at £7 for adults and £3.50 for children.
