Halloween at Hampton Court Palace

It’s the perfect time of year to explore the Henry VIII’s haunted palace. Over October half term the grand, gloomy corridors and courtyards of Hampton Court Palace will be filled with atmospheric projections and creepy sound effects. Tiptoe through the grand pile and learn about the infamous ghosts said to roam the grand rooms. Look out for witches and alchemists dotted all over the palace, visit to the ‘Gallery of the Damned’ to see eerie portraits come to life, or stop by the ‘Council Chamber’ to take part in a séance. Feeling brave? Head outside to the Haunted Garden to spot carved pumpkins and listen to spooky stories.
