Happy Haunting and Ghostly Greetings at Tumblestone Hollow this Halloween

A magical woodland adventure playground on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border is casting a spell throughout its grounds for Halloween this year, with a spooky new trail, bewitching live storytelling and spinetingling crafts.

Tumblestone Hollow, located at Stonor Park in one of the most beautiful parts of the English countryside, is delving into its spell book to create a world full of Halloween surprises with a new experience, The Hollow Tales and Trails, running on Saturday 17^th and Sunday 18^th October followed by the October half term holiday from Saturday 24^th October to Sunday 1^st November.

Beckoning families into the eerie gardens, The Hollow Trail awaits with eight riddles to solve across the themed areas, including Spider Hollow, Witches Clearing, the Skeleton Party, the Ghost Wood and more.

A treat – not a trick – for little witches and wizards who complete the Hollow Trail can be found at the Visitors’ Centre, before gathering round for live storytelling at The Hollow Tales and venturing into the woods to the Witches’ Hovel.

There’s also Tumblestone Hollow’s pumpkin patch to visit, where families can select the perfect pumpkin then head to the decorating station to create a creepy keepsake to take home.

As well as conquering the high-energy spiralling chutes, tunnels, soaring zip line, tall towers and ladders of the impressive Tumblestone Hollow, young explorers can also hunt for sightings of the lost raven throughout the woodland adventure playground. Created for adventurers of all ages, there is also a dedicated toddler section, complete with a sand area for messy play.

Louisa Fifield, general manager at Stonor Park said: “Tumblestone Hollow is surrounded by beautiful woodland, and the autumn colours full of vibrant red, yellow and orange on the trees look spectacular at this time of year – it’s an incredible setting for some Halloween entertainment.

“Our ethos is to provide families with a value-for-money day out in an exceptional setting and our Halloween trails and activities do just that, offering lots of exciting extras which are the perfect combination of energetic fun and spooky adventures to spark children’s imaginations.

“If aspiring witches, wizards and ghost hunters would like to come along in their best Halloween costumes to embrace this creepy time of year, we’d love for them to do so, as long as they can still safely enjoy all the active fun our woodland playground has to offer.”

For families looking to take a moment to warm up from the crisp autumn air, the Rumble Hut serves authentic wood-fired pizzas and hot drinks including indulgent hot chocolates for adults to sip and relax with as they watch their youngsters run, jump, climb, whizz and slide.
