Have a scream this Halloween with ghost tours and spooky events at Kenilworth Castle

Kenilworth Castle is inviting people to have a scream this Halloween at its half-term programme of events.

From October 27 to November 3, little horrors will be able to join in a host of different themed activities at the castle.

Storytellers will be ready to enthral and scare them silly with tales from history before learning how to identify and banish all kinds of creepy ghouls at the Monster Hunting Academy.

The whole family will be bewitched by the castle’s Halloween Quest, where adventurers can complete challenges and clues to become a witch’s apprentice.

Broomsticks are not included in these events.

Young visitors are also encouraged to come dressed to scare to be in with a chance of winning a prize. Simply take a photo and post it to the castle’s Facebook page to be in with a change of winning an English Heritage kid’s bundle.

For those looking for more terrifying Halloween thrills, English Heritage will be running evening Ghost Tales at the castle from October 27 to 31.

Not for the faint-hearted – and strictly for over 16s only – these tours will explore the deepest darkest corners of the castle by nightfall.

Tales of ghosts, supernatural sightings and horrors will be revealed by historic storytellers, but just watch out for what might be lurking around the corner.

Pre-booking essential for timed slots between 6pm and 8:30pm
