About this event

There's been a few spooky goings on around Castle Ward - visit to walk our Hallowe'en trail and test your bravery along the way. Discover the fascinating and slightly creepy world of Mary Ward and her famous "creepy crawly" creations from 24 October to 1 November. The trail slithers and snakes it's way starting from the stable yard, winding its way through the sunken garden! Runs daily during opening hours.

  • The trail runs through the garden.
  • "Prepare for all weathers, coats and muddy boots welcome!"
