There’s plenty of eerie fun to be had if you're interested in exploring the UK's famous castles and historical sites. Hampton Court Palace is notoriously haunted, and there's a haunted Halloween quest at Leeds Castle. You can also visit the Tower of London's Halloween event to discover the spirits of the past. For adventure for all the family, head to Warwick Castle for Halloween half-term fun.
If you're an animal lover, London Zoo , SEA LIFE and Whipsnade Zoo have you covered. London Zoo's Boo at the Zoo offers free activities such as pumpkin decorating, mask making, animal talks and demonstrations from 21 to 31 October. SEA LIFE is running for a limited time only a new adventure, where adults and kids join Serafina the Sea Witch to help solve challenges and learn all about tricks of the amazing, ‘scary-not scary’ sea creatures. Whipsnade's Boo at the Zoo has a week-long Halloween event with animal talks, crafts, painting, magic shows, storytelling sessions and, for a small fee, the ghostly trail. Tudor World offers a haunted experience during the Samhain festival with a quiz and spooky prize for children. And RHS Wisley is hosting a family-friendly Halloween event with a fangtastic trail, creepy crawlies and spooky stories
