Belvoir Castle Halloween Trail
Halloween Enchanted Adventure Trail & Crafts at Belvoir Castle
On Saturday 24th October from 9.30am to 5pm you can visit Belvoir Castle’s Halloween trail. It is returning to the Adventure Playground and Animal Park, with a new run of craft sessions launching in the Retail Village at the point where the trail concludes. The adventure starts well before that, though. Across Belvoir’s adventure playground, spell ingredients have been hidden among the climbing frames and walkways, setting children the task of tracking them all down to brew a counter-curse. Every child who completes it earns the official title of Belvoir Castle Curse Breaker, along with a treat to mark the achievement.
