Hampton Court Palace, Surrey

A family-friendly Halloween adventure!

26 October - 03 November 2024

Suitable for 0-100 years

Best Bits

Explore Henry VIII's notoriously haunted palace for Halloween 2024, the spookiest time of the year at Hampton Court Palace.

This October half term, lose yourself in atmospheric projections and creepy sound effects as the palace is transformed by magical spells.

As you tiptoe through the dark winding corridors and courtyards, you’ll feel the chilling presence of our infamous ghosts hiding around every corner. Work with our ghost hunters to seek out all of Hampton Court Palace's spirits, but keep your distance – these ghosts are best kept to the past.

After all that exploring, cosy down to hear some spooky stories and then relax with a Halloween-themed treat from the café.

Designed to put you on edge, rather than push you over it, prepare yourself for an exciting family-friendly adventure that you won’t forget.
