Halloween Northumberland

Trick or Treat?
Trick or treat yourself to a trip to Northumberland this Halloween and get caught in a web of haunted castles to scare yourself silly, enjoy a spooky woodland walk to test your bravery and halloween spooktacular events to raise your spirits.

Scare the kids (and adults) silly


Have a spooky family fun day in Northumberland and prepare yourself for halloween crafts, pumpkin carving, spooky stories and even a fancy dress competition. Creep it real with ghoulish ghost tours, spooky scarecrow trails and Afternoon Teas with a terrifying twist.

The Famous Scarycrow Trail returned to Ford & Etal Estate in 2022 along with the Halloween Spooktacular at Whitehouse Farm which is always great for kids of all ages. You could also get your thinking caps on at the Pumpkin Trail at Woodhorn Museum, the Skull Trail at Hexham Old Gaol or go bat-crazy on the Berwick Bat Trail.

Explore a mini monster maze, uncover strange goings on, visit the ghostly grim grotto and discover the weird and wonderful side of Halloween in Northumberland.

Remember to return to this page in 2023 to see upcoming events for a halloween treat to remember.
