Halloween Spooktacular at Shugborough

Promising all kinds of "things that go bump in the night", Shugborough Estate's Halloween Spooktacular in Staffordshire on Thursday, October 31st event promises to be a real howler…

The ghostly and ghoulish Mansion House and Servants' Quarters will be transformed into a haunted house where visitors will find behind every corner a bump, a bang or an icy tap on the shoulder.

A Gardens Ghost Train and a Pumpkin Trail leading deep into the darkness of Shugborough's grounds will generate even more shudders and shrieks on a night when visitors can also enjoy all the fun of a Fair (additional charges apply), a Kids' Disco, free Face Painting, trick or treating, apple bobbing and traditional refreshments including toffee apples, roast chestnuts and warm punch.

Visitors are being urged to dust off their broomsticks and dress up their kids, and head to Shugborough in Staffordshire as it prepares for the spookiest Halloween ever.

Gates will open at 5pm on Thursday, October 31st, with adult tickets costing £10 in advance (£12 on the night); children and concessions £7.50 (£9.50); and family groups of two adults and up to three children £30 (£37).

Parking is free, and located a short distance from the event area.

Tickets are now available to buy online, or via the Box Office telephone number on 0845 459 8900; or from the Shugborough Ticket Office every day apart from Tuesdays from 11am to 4pm.

The event has been a sell-out in previous years, and visitors are being advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
