Halloween at Leeds Castle

Halloween at Leeds Castle sees the return of the Guardians of the Grounds for a new magical quest

Expect an enchanting Halloween adventure unlike any other at Leeds Castle between 18th October-2nd November, that is a magical experience that will spark your imagination and fill your autumn with wonder.

This Halloween you can win one of two annual Family Explorer tickets to Leeds Castle. You can use the tickets to experience the new Guradians of the Grounds too. Enter below.

It is almost time to reunite with your favourite Halloween characters, to face a NEW enemy determined to take over! The Evil Sorceress has returned to Leeds Castle and stolen Ember the Autumnal Witch’s treasured spellbook, locking it away under a powerful enchantment in a mysterious wooden chest. Before the chest was sealed, the magical letters inside the book scattered across the grounds, running away in fear so the Evil Sorceress could not use their power.

Embark on a magical, spellbinding letter hunt across Leeds Castle’s grounds. The scattered alphabet has been hidden far and wide, but only eight colourful letters can reveal the secret password. Together, you will unlock Ember the Autumnal Witch’s spellbook, break the Evil Sorceress’s curse, and restore the Guardians’ true selves.

Along the way you’ll encounter the Guardians in their topsy-turvy new roles*, with plenty of riddles, surprises, and fun! Your quest ends in a thrilling finale inside the Evil Sorceress’s chamber, where families will help unlock the spellbook from the wooden chest, and bring magic, joy, and peace back to Leeds Castle once again. Don’t forget to join in the fun by coming along in your best Halloween fancy dress – with daily competitions to celebrate the most spellbinding costumes!

*Please note: From 18th to 26th October, you will experience the trail with live Guardians of the Grounds characters. From 27th October to 2nd November, you will experience a self-led trail without live characters.
