Event Details
Join in the fun as Woodhouse turns spooky with a range of activities from Fun fair games, Pumpkin Carving, arts & crafts plus a range of onsite activities offered by the Woodhouse Park activity teams.
After the day activities have finished there will be a break to grab some food and once darkness descends participants will be able to walk the woodland trails full of scary scenes, spooky characters throughout a variety of themes of a scary nature.
Spooktacular Programme
The main woodhouse Spooktacular event will run from 1pm until 8pm and throughout the afternoon there will be plenty of fun activities that groups can take part in.
At the end of the activity sessions around 5.30pm there will be a 1-hour break for an evening meal for which groups will need to self-cater or bring along food for.
Once this break is over there will be a campfire in the reception area with music playing whilst groups will be waiting to be sent through the woodhouse scare trail. The trail will wind it’s way through parts of the Woodhouse grounds, haunted woods and will have a variety of jump scares and scenes. The trail will end back at the reception area where groups only visiting for the day can then be collected. For any groups who are camping or wish to stay later there will be a Disco from 8pm and a late-night movie from 9pm to 10.30pm.
We would also encourage participants to dress up in themed costumes (Adults Too!) as well as making their own Halloween themed lanterns that they can use whilst going around the scare trail.
The woodhouse Tuck shop will be open throughout the event to stock up on your souvenirs, badges, and sweets!
