From folklore-inspired trails and craft activities to Halloween-themed events and seasonal storytelling, explore historic houses, gardens and castles in a whole new light.

Half term events run from 25 October to 2 November unless otherwise stated.

Follow the half term garden trail inspired by Erddig Hall’s Tribes Room and its grand collection of coats of arms to discover brave beasts and magical creatures. On 28 and 30 October, design your own coat of arms.

Celebrate Halloween on 31 October with pumpkin carving, spooky crafts and a dusk garden walk - look out for eerie apple faces!
