Seasonal · Nottingham

Forget a generic Halloween trail — this one sends children hunting for ghosts through the actual cells, caves and courtrooms of a 900-year-old former gaol, torch in hand, with craft activities and spooky games worked in along the way. The building does most of the work; it barely needs dressing up for Halloween.
Runs on selected evenings across October half term, 5pm starts, and every child needs a paying adult alongside them — so it's a shared scare rather than a drop-and-go.
