News from our houses Things to see and do

Dates: 28th, 29th & 30th October 2025

Session Times: 9:30am & 1pm

This October, Knebworth Gardens invites families to embrace the magic of the season with a spellbinding Halloween Adventure. A delightful event designed especially for young visitors aged 3–10. Dust off your broomsticks, don your witch’s hats and grab your magic wands for a morning of Halloween-themed fun in the beautiful historic gardens of Knebworth House.

 

 

Garden Activities & Pumpkin Passport

Children can enjoy a range of engaging games and activities throughout the gardens, including:

  • Hungry Ghosts
  • Hook a Pumpkin
  • Pumpkin Putting
  • What’s in the Box?

As each activity is completed, young adventurers will earn stamps on their Pumpkin Passport, which can be redeemed for a special prize at the end of the session. Plus, the much-loved Terror Tunnel returns for another year of spooky fun.

Garden Terrace Tea Room

Take a break and indulge in autumnal refreshments at the Garden Terrace Tea Room, serving a variety of seasonal soups, sandwiches, and Halloween-themed sweet treats. Pre-booked children’s Halloween lunch boxes are also available.

Pumpkin Carving Competition

Bring your own pre-carved pumpkin and place it in our special Pumpkin Parking area upon arrival. Judging will take place 30 minutes before the session ends, and while we encourage creativity, don’t forget to take your pumpkin home afterwards!

Dress to Impress

Fancy dress is highly encouraged for all ages. Come as your favourite spooky character and join in the festive spirit!
