Step Into the Shadows: Halloween at Berkeley Castle

As the leaves turn crisp and twilight creeps in a little earlier each day, the spirit of Halloween begins to stir—and there’s no better place to embrace the season than Berkeley Castle. With its rich history, towering walls, and centuries-old secrets, the castle becomes the perfect backdrop for a truly enchanting (and slightly eerie) Halloween experience. Whether you're chasing thrills, curious tales, or family-friendly fun, this October’s event promises a spellbinding mix of history and Halloween magic.

Why not swap the ordinary for the extraordinary? With its ancient stone walls and rich medieval history, Berkeley Castle is transformed into a delightfully eerie setting that's perfect for families and Halloween enthusiasts alike.

Highlights That Go Bump in the Night
  • Owls in the Great Hall
    Witness silent wings and piercing gazes as graceful owls perch amidst the grandeur of the castle’s Viking-era surroundings. It's an encounter as enchanting as it is mysterious.
  • Spooky Storytelling
    Gather close for tales that weave a chill through your bones—mystery, folklore, and maybe a few ghostly legends. Expect shivers, smiles, and spine-tingling fun.
  • Meet the Old Wise Woman in the Castle Cellar
    Venture underground, if you dare. In the depths of the castle, the Old Wise Woman awaits—ready with stories, spells, or perhaps a little mischief. The perfect mix of intrigue and warmth for curious minds.

All this immersive fun is included in the standard admission ticket—no extra fees, just grab your ticket for a day between 26–29 October. A tip: If you hold a 1 Year Pass, note that it is not valid for Sunday, 26 October, so you’ll need a regular admission that day.

Why Berkeley Castle Is Spookily Spectacular

With centuries of history etched into every stone, the castle offers more than just a venue—it’s a portal to the past. The ancient architecture, candlelit halls, and whispered echoes make the setting itself a silent character in your Halloween story.

Halloween at Berkeley Castle is about more than costumes and candy (though it’s great for that too!). It’s a sensory adventure anchored in history—where ancient walls whisper stories, owls bring the supernatural to life, and underground encounters spark imagination.

Whether you're planning a family outing, a date with history, or a hauntingly good time—this event promises a memorable, spine-chilling treat.
