Halloween Trail

Follow the family friendly trail around the estate and record the missing ingredients needed by Gertrude the witch

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Gertrude – the witch who lives in Tyntesfield’s woods – is having a very bad day. Her mischievous cat Whiskers has torn her Book of Spells & Potions and now she can’t finish making Frog Fudge for her Halloween party.

Have fun trying the activities at each of the seven stations on the trail then return to see Gertrude. If you can tell her the ingredients she needs, she may even give you a prize!

The trail can be completed in any order, and runs from Home Farm down to the Kitchen Gardens and back; it does not go up into the woods. If you don’t have time to complete the whole trail then fear not, Gertrude will not mind!
