Situated just 40 minutes from Birmingham, Warwick Castle is gearing up for a Halloween celebration that promises something for everyone. By day, families can enjoy a range of spooky yet child-friendly activities, while the nighttime events are designed to thrill those seeking a more intense Halloween experience.
A spokesman for Warwick Castle revealed, “This Halloween, our ancient gates open wide for an event that’s not for the faint-hearted. With over 1,100 years of history as a backdrop, the castle will transform into one of the UK’s most immersive spooky season destinations. Families looking for fun should book tickets soon before they vanish like a ghost in the night.”
Limited dates are available for the After Dark events on October 24, 29, 30, and 31, with daytime activities taking place from October 24 to November 1.

Daytime attractions include the eerie Haunted Hollows, where twisted trees and ghostly figures await explorers, along with engaging witch and goblin shows, pirate adventures, and a silent scarecrow disco. Visitors can explore the Spirit Hotel to encounter the paranormal through an indoor theatrical experience included with admission. Additional highlights are the castle dungeon experience, the Falconer’s Quest showcasing birds of prey, the Horrible Histories maze, and the Legend of the Trebuchet exhibit, which delves into the history of Britain’s largest working siege machine beside the River Avon.
As night falls, Warwick Castle’s atmosphere shifts dramatically. Haunted Hollows features unexpected jump scares, while The Other Side draws guests into a parallel universe filled with immersive storytelling and live actors in a supernatural setting that challenges the faint-hearted. The Terror offers a chilling historical journey through medieval life during a devastating plague, portraying a world where desperation and fear collide.
Guests can also enjoy a festival experience with live DJs, bands, circus acts, and a silent disco atop the castle’s ancient mound, dancing under the stars with panoramic views of the grounds.
