Spooky times ahead at Mapperton House and Gardens
A spooky half-term Halloween Haunted Garden Trail is in store at Mapperton House and Gardens near Beaminster.
Children of all ages will be able to brave the spine-chilling trail around the grounds each day from 24 to 28 October.
By following a series of clues, the trail will lead to a whole series of eerie areas. To add to the fun, fancy dress is encouraged for all.
There will be the chance to creep into the witch’s grotto while she has gone out and see where she brews her potions, spot a ghostly gardener and find a trolls’ lair. Halloween treats await the courageous youngsters who solve all the clues to complete the trail.
The Coach House Café will also be offering a spooktacular selection of themed drinks and food.
Ticket prices are £11 each for adults, which includes entry to the Gardens and £5 each for children aged from three to 15 years old.
