If you are feeling brave, book friends and family onto one of six ghost tours taking place after dark on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 October. Guaranteed to be a scream, early tours at 6pm and 7pm are family-friendly, while an 8pm tour on both evenings is for adults only.

Each tour will be led by Doctor Theophilus Fox, a notable Victorian occultist and ghost hunter who will tell tales of apparitions, supernatural sightings and strange happenings through the castle’s long history. Prices are £16 for adults, £7.70 for children and there are discounts for English Heritage members. Places are limited and tickets are expected to sell out fast - so early booking is strongly recommended.

Call 0370 333 1183 Mon-Fri 08.30 – 17.30 or Sat 09.00 – 17.00.

For daytime fun, parents should gather their little monsters for a ghoulishly good day- out, with wicked crafts, storytelling, shows and a spooktacular witch-themed Halloween quest around the castle from Saturday 25 October until Sunday 3 November, from 11am and 4pm. There will also be the chance to get up-close to a host of real life beasts – including snakes, spiders and more – and learn all about these creepy crawly creatures. Remember to dress the little horrors in their frighteningly best Halloween outfits for
the chance to win a prize (judging at 1.45pm each day).

Normal admission prices apply - £10.90 for adults, £6.50 for children, £9.80 for concessions and £28.30 for a family ticket.

Admission is free for English Heritage members.
