Halloween Evenings
Experience a spooktacular evening as darkness falls on Ormesby Hall and the ghouls and ghosts come out to play.
- Booking essential
Come along for a family friendly Halloween experience and head inside the mansion to see the rooms decorated for Halloween, but watch out, you don't know who might be lurking along the way! The Walking Theatre Company actors will also be roaming on the evening providing some outdoor entertainment, along with self-led paper lantern making in the stables.
Please note: the gardens will be closed on the evening. The café will be open, with a couple of additional food and drink stalls.
Booking is essential for the Halloween evenings to manage the numbers across the site and to ensure a good experience in the house. All visitors need to pre-book an arrival timeslot online. You can then enjoy the house at your leisure once you have passed through the Welcome Hut.
Halloween evenings are on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 October, from 5pm - 8.30pm, with the house and café closing at 8pm. You must arrive for site entry at your booked timeslot and no earlier. Please bring a torch with you when you visit on the evening.
Normal admission applies to visit on the evenings: Adult £6.50, Child £3.25 and family ticket £16.25, with National Trust members and under 5s free (National Trust members must still book tickets).
