As we head into the second half of October and thoughts turn to the half-term holidays we take a look at the best of the Halloween themed events included with the Explorer Pass that are happening across Warwickshire. There is plenty to keep the little monsters entertained…. and even some events that may interest those who are a bit harder to scare!
A Halloween Quest, wicked crafts and real-life beasts – including snakes, spiders and more – await you at Kenilworth Castle this half-term! Meet the animals and learn all about them, take part in Halloween crafts and follow the spooky trail. All activities are included with castle entry and the Explorer Pass!
Find out more here.
And for those who are a little braver you can explore the castle after dark as part of Kenilworth Castle’s Fright Nights. Kenilworth Castle has been named as one of English Heritage’s most haunted sites so prepare for a scare! Fright Nights are ticketed events and prices start at £5 – book your place here… if you dare!
Warwickshire’s most famous castle comes alive this Halloween!

Visit Stoneleigh Abbey on All-Hallows Eve and join their ‘Dark Deeds Tour’. Described as ‘not for those of a nervous disposition’ the tour takes you around the 900-year-old Abbey after dark whilst you hear gruesome tales surrounding its long history. Not suitable for young children. The tour costs £10 and you can book your place here.
If the tour sounds a little too scary, you can explore the grounds during daylight hours with the Explorer Pass instead!
