• Caring for the environment

  Halloween at Quarry Bank takes place at one of the National Trust’s most unique places.

  As a home for important animal species, annual ecological surveys support us to ensure the impact of the event on this beautiful place is carefully managed.

  The trail route, lights and sound are planned with bat roosts, animal homes, and ancient trees in mind. Using bio-fuel and efficient approaches to power usage helps us reduce any environmental impact.

  As a conservation charity, the care and longevity of Quarry Bank's gardens and land remain our ultimate priority. Every ticket sold supports the conservation and care of Quarry Bank for everyone, for ever.

• Access information

  Access to inside and outside areas

  The trail for Halloween at Quarry Bank uses both inside and outside areas. The outdoor part of the trail is fully accessible, however please be aware that due to the nature of the site there are some steep inclines and descents, with some Tarmac surfaces with down-gradients of up to 13%.

  The mill itself is a complex series of buildings split across different levels and connected via two main staircases. The inside part of the Halloween trail takes place across two separate floors which are both accessible by stairs and for those who require it, a single lift operated by a member of staff. Please be aware that space inside the mill is narrow, single width with some passing areas, there is therefore a maximum capacity for up to four wheelchair users permitted at any one time in the mill.

  Please note that there is also no access for double pushchairs inside the mill.

  Should anyone wish to do so, it is possible to completely avoid the inside areas of the mill and just visit the outside areas of the trail.
