Throughout the October half term Tattershall Castle has devised a programme of events which we hope will entertain adult and children visitors alike. As part of this set of events we are hosting a Pumpkin Party on Saturday 31st October. The Pumpkin Party consists of a set of arts and crafts events, Halloween trail, fancy dress and best carved pumpkin competitions.
In the afternoon there will be a series of events for children; including arts and crafts and ghost trails. The arts and crafts activities will include making pipe cleaner skeletons, shaky bottle ghosts and bat kites. The Halloween trail consists of tracking spiders and bats around the castle, using clues to investigate further into the quest and resolve mysteries, with a mask prize for all children taking part.
Children who attend the Pumpkin Party in Halloween fancy dress will be admitted free of charge (Terms and conditions apply*), and a Halloween fancy dress competition will take place in the afternoon; with a prize for the best dressed boy and girl.
Visitors are invited to bring along their own pre-carved pumpkins to enter into the best carved pumpkin competition; the castle will stay open until 5pm so tea lights can be lit in all the pumpkins in front of the castle before they are judged to decide which pumpkin is the best. A range of prizes will be available to the winners.
Normal castle admission charges apply, castle admission is free for National Trust members and children dressed in fancy dress. An extra charge is payable per child for arts and crafts activities to cover the cost of materials used. *Free Entry: Children must be under sixteen years of age, and accompanied by an adult.
