More information from organisers:

Treat your little ones to a spine-tingling visit to Hever Castle over the Half Term break. Come dressed up in your spookiest outfit, listen to traditional ghost stories and spot Halloween decorations around the grounds.

Enter different zones in the gardens including witches, zombies, skeletons and bats to find letters spelling out a mystery word in return for a small prize.

You will also have the chance to plant garlic bulbs in a free family-friendly workshop. The perfect activity to ward off any stray vampires. Plus, keep an eye out for Aragog the spider. You will know when you see him!

Then head into the Castle and follow another spooky trail.
