Warwick Castle has two main attractions during the Halloween season: The Haunted Castle and Warwick Castle After Dark.

Both see the castle get a complete spooky makeover and feature a tonne of family-friendly attractions, including mazes, shows, and Halloween games.

At both you can book a trip down to the Castle Dungeon; a guided walk through the history of the castle featuring true stories, actors, and a few jump scares for good measure.

The Haunted Castle

The Haunted Castle is the day-time part of Warwick Castle's Halloween celebrations. The event features over 15 live shows and attractions, plus full entry to the castle and grounds.

On the Dead Centre Stage there will be a Halloween-themed show playing every half-hour, with performances from the Witches of Warwick.

You'll also find mazes like the Haunted Hollows where you'll encounter ghosts, demons and other creepy characters.

Plus, don't miss out on The Falconer's Quest, the UK's biggest birds of prey show!

Warwick Castle After Dark

Warwick Castle After Dark is the evening version of their Halloween celebrations and is for the slightly more fearless among you.

At night the castle puts on the Festival of Frights, in which the courtyard is filled with live music, DJs, street food and fire eaters. The scare mazes are also more intense, with the actors looking a bit scarier and jumping out at you more.

Plus, you can book a tour of The Castle Dungeon and learn more about the castle's gruesome history.
