Family Halloween Events
Venues and Councils Launch Family Halloween and Half-Term Activities Across the Region
Anonymous
Families have several autumn and Halloween outings to choose from, including National Trust activities in Northamptonshire, where children can follow a Gunpowder Plot-themed trail at Lyveden and enjoy seasonal walks and games. Other options include a pumpkin-patch story time with books, crafts and a pedestrian-safety farm tour, and a ghost-spotting trail at Chartwell with activities and a sticker reward. Kettering Town Council is also organizing a free town-center Halloween trail during October half-term, with participating businesses, spooky shapes to find and prizes for children.
Key Points
1
Lyveden’s Gunpowder Plot trail lets families try an obstacle course and beanbag-throw challenge while learning about the Tresham family’s connection to the failed 1605 plot; the historic site includes moats, viewing terraces, an Elizabethan orchard and the unfinished New Bield.
2
The pumpkin-patch story time is for children aged 0–8 and requires no registration; Yuba County Health & Human Services will first lead a farm tour focused on pedestrian safety, followed by pumpkin-themed books and crafts in the pumpkin field.
3
Chartwell’s ghost hunt features eight activity stops through the garden and woodland and is aimed especially at children under eight; the event itself is free, although normal venue admission charges apply.
4
Kettering’s trail runs from October 23 to 31, excluding Sundays. Children can collect a trail sheet at a participating venue, follow a map to find hidden spooky shapes and claim a free prize; the town council says the trail also introduces families to participating local businesses.
