Enjoy a haunting host of thrills and chills as Longleat’s infamous Halloween Festival returns in time for the October Half-Term Holidays (Saturday, October 11th – Monday, November 3rd).

The eerily entertaining daytime Ghost Tours in Longleat House are also back with a vengeance. Taking place six times a day, the tours provide a frightfully exciting experience (Oct 11th-1 2th, 18th-1 9th and Oct 25th – Nov 3rd).

Witches have taken over the Great Hall and have been brewing up trouble with their weird and wild Witches’ Coven.

Visitors can follow the giant Pumpkin Trail around the attractions and children can get crafty having a go at carving their very own jack ‘o’ lantern (Oct 24th-Nov 3rd).

You can also enjoy a creepily close encounter with Dracula in the infamous Bat Cave. Plus there’s the chance to get hands-on with a selection of creepy crawlies in the Nasty But Nice Shows!
