About

GRIMM TALES AND SCARECROW TRAILS

Daring explorers are invited to take a walk on the dark side through Hillsborough Castle's spooky illuminated gardens this Halloween. 

Our scarecrows come to life after dark, possessed by mischievous spirits that have crossed through to our world. Scattered throughout the gardens, are you brave enough to find them all?

Working with Cahoots NI Children's Theatre company and Statement Events, this magical and spooky illuminated after dark adventure through our historic gardens is a thrilling family-friendly adventure that you won't forget.
