Halloween Adventure Trail & Crafts at Belvoir Castle
Belvoir Castle's Halloween trail 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. It's a proper piece of Halloween theatre rather than a simple trail marker hunt - every child who completes it earns the official title of Belvoir Castle Curse Breaker, along with a treat to mark the achievement. That sense of quest and reward carries the story from the Adventure Playground to the Animal Park and Retail Village, where visitors follow the seasonal trail through to its conclusion.
Visitors following the seasonal trail arrive, story complete, in the Retail Village - and it's here that the estate has added a programme of Halloween-themed craft activities, giving families a tactile way to round off their visit. Rather than the trail simply ending, the crafts extend it: children can create their own take-home pieces inspired by the characters with the helpful hands of the Belvoir Witches.
The craft sessions are priced at £4.50 and have been designed with flexibility in mind. They work as a natural add-on for anyone already visiting the Adventure Playground for the trail, but they also stand alone - a shorter, self-contained activity for families who want a Halloween outing without committing to the full walk. That dual approach reflects a wider shift in how heritage sites like Belvoir are thinking about seasonal programming: less about a single ticketed experience, and more about a menu of options that visitors can mix and match according to time, weather, and how long small legs are willing to walk.
Sessions can be booked in advance, and spaces are also available on the day for those who haven't reserved ahead, subject to availability.
