Fort Burgoyne becomes Fort BOO-Goyne for one day only.
As the autumn sun begins to set behind the ancient walls of Fort Burgoyne, something strange stirs in the shadows… Whispers tell of a mysterious trail that appears only once a year.
Those brave enough to follow it will find themselves on a magical journey through the hidden corners of the fort, where curious characters and spooky surprises await.
Off the trail, the fun continues with Halloween crafts to conjure up creepy creations and mini games to test your courage.
With the chill of the evening creeping in, gather around the glowing campfire to toast marshmallows and make delicious s’mores, if the ghosts don’t get there first, of course!
They encourage you to come dressed up in your spookiest costume to help you blend in with the enchanted world you’re about to enter. So, grab your cloak, your witch’s hat and your bravest face and join them… If you dare.
£5 per child (includes a campfire treat)
