Daily activities include Glinda’s Golden Broom hunt, Cassandra’s Cat Conundrum, the Cursed Pumpkins trail and Spooky Spider colouring. Fancy Dress Days are 17-18 October; the Bubble Party, Foam Zone, bubble challenges and music are 24-25 October only. Some themed areas may have scares.

The six-acre maze operates from 7pm to 9pm; that is the event window, not a promised visit duration. Advance online tickets are required, season passes are not accepted, and high-powered torch beams are prohibited.

The party includes two hours of exclusive soft play, games, music, a child’s meal and drink, an indoor carousel ride, a goody bag, return-visit voucher and best-dressed prizes. Every child entering soft play must be 1.3m or under.

The living-history activity runs 11am-3pm in and around the Great Hall and is included in normal admission. HES recommends booking online ahead for the best price and guaranteed entry; the wider castle visit is separate from this activity window.
