For those with a taste for history and a love for the supernatural, don’t miss a unique chance to discover the Victorian Kitchen like never before – with a spooky twist that’s sure to intrigue.

Warm up with some marshmallow toasting at the Old Horsebox, where families can gather around the fire for a sweet treat. Other attractions at Bowhill include the exciting Adventure Playground, where kids can swing, slide, and climb to their hearts’ content, and the indoor Soft Play area, perfect for rainy days.

When hunger strikes, enjoy a light bite to eat at the Old Kitchen Café or grab a quick cuppa on the go from the Old Horsebox to fuel your day of adventure.

The event has been specially adapted on Thursday 24 October, with toddlers in mind. Smaller pumpkins for little hands to pick, spooky crafts to spark their creativity, and special cinema screenings of A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon — the perfect Halloween treat for you and your little ghouls and goblins!
