Halloween at the Village | Festival of Frights
Howick Historical Village’s ‘Festival of Frights’ is back!
Explore the grounds after dark, lit up and decorated for All Hallows' Eve. Beware of fiendish and frightening villagers lurking along the way…
Come in costume for a chance to win prizes, or come as your best spooky self. Brew a ghoulish potion or make an old-fashioned lollipop! Trick-or-treat your way through the streets and follow the ‘Riddle Route’ trail to learn about creepy Victorian Halloween traditions.
With food trucks, a gelato cart, games, face-painting, the sweet shop and crafts, this will be a spooktacular evening not to be missed!
