About This Event

The October Half Term: Ghosts! festival brings a spooky adventure trail through Nostell house and gardens, inviting guests to search for supernatural inhabitants. The event is a recurring series, with the next occurrence taking place on selected dates. Admission is required.

Nostell has welcomed some ghostly guests, and you're invited to join a spooky adventure trail through the house and gardens. Search the gardens for sneaky ghosts hiding among the trees and pathways, then head inside the house to help the Nostell team uncover clues of paranormal activity. Keep your eyes peeled for evidence of ghostly goings-on and discover the ghoulish tricks our mischievous spirits have been playing throughout the house.

Heading out into the parkland, pesky pumpkin rocks have been growing in Joiners Wood. Can you find them all?

The trail is free (standard admission applies)
