Halloween at Blenheim Palace is back with a sensational new trail and this spine-chilling message to visitors – “The darker it gets, the spookier it gets”.
Families and friends can enjoy the Halloween experience during autumn half term (October 20-29), wandering through the mysterious grounds of the magnificent 18th century property.
Due to the trail’s popularity last year, gates open at the earlier time of 5.30pm for 2023, giving younger visitors the chance to experience it in daylight, before twilight and moonlight descend.

Blenheim Palace CEO Dominic Hare said: "Halloween at Blenheim Palace is a wonderful chance to immerse yourself in our beautiful gardens as you’ve never seen them before, with fantastic shocks and surprises awaiting visitors to our atmospheric illuminated trail."
New thrills for 2023 include fire performers from Let’s Circus just before you enter a scary spider tunnel - but beware the faceless horseman in the mist.
Discover demons, listen to the werewolves’ howl and watch out for the warlock.
As you approach Dracula’s crypt, keep a keen eye out for the fanged menace lurking within.
Settle your nerves with a fiendishly good hot toddy or devilish hot chocolate and toast a marshmallow or two.
Don’t forget to dress in your own creepy costume – you may just do a little scaring yourself.
