About This Event

'Monsters around the Moat' Halloween Half-term Trail at Scotney Castle is a recurring event where visitors can explore the estate and discover hidden monsters. The series runs on selected dates and requires admission.

The hidden monsters of Scotney have been hard at work all year, helping to keep the estate running smoothly. Today they've taken a well-earned day off and can be spotted around the moat relaxing, reading, snoozing and enjoying themselves.

But there's a problem... they've lost their invitation to tonight's monster party and can't remember where they're meant to be!

Join us on this monster-sized adventure and help save the celebration. Follow the trail around the moat, complete fun challenges and solve clues to uncover the secret message that reveals the party location before nightfall.
