From following the pumpkin trail to meeting the castle's resident Tudor ghosts, Sudeley Castle is getting spooky this Halloween 2025!

The spectacular Sudeley Castle and Gardens is getting spooky this Halloween, with a week full of spellbinding family fun from Saturday 25 October until Sunday 2 November 2025.

Throughout the week, families can get dressed up in their best costumes and follow the enchanting pumpkin trail around the grounds, looking out for secret nooks, hidden pumpkins and magical witches' marks along the way, and taking in Sudeley's ancient ruins and beautiful gardens bursting with autumn colour as they go – with a special Halloween treat for everyone who completes the trail.

There's a special Halloween-themed ice cream milkshake and warming hot drinks at the Pavillion cafe to tuck into afterwards, plus Sudeley's fortress-themed adventure play area with 10-piece assault course is the perfect way for little ones to warm up and burn off some of their boundless energy!

Then on Friday 31 October 2025, Sudeley Castle is hosting Tudor All Hallows Eve from 10am to 4pm – a haunting immersive experience where visitors can meet the resident ghosts; learn all about the castle's macabre history through spine-chilling stories; and discover the superstitions and ceremonies that defined the season of the dead in Tudor times.

And on Halloween night, there's a brand-new after dark event where Sudeley Castle throws open the gates for a Ghouls School Disco and family-friendly fireworks display, too – with low noise ideal for little ears.

The pumpkin trail and Tudor All Hallow's Eve are both included within the price of admission, which costs £23 for adults and £10 for children, with family tickets for two adults and three children available for £58; while tickets for the Phantoms & Fireworks event cost from £12.50 per child.
