Hallowtide Half Term Activities at Hardwick
Half term play activities are back at Hardwick with a Hallowtide twist!
About
17th October 2026 - 31st October 2026
Play is back at Hardwick with the Elizabethan theme of Hallowtide weaved through the half term activities along with some spooky editions such as witches hat hoopla, broomstick barefoot walk, traditional apple games, plus craft demonstrations and activities and so much more!
There’s plenty of fun to be had in the Stableyard. For those choosing to purchase a House and Gardens ticket, there's also the opportunity to:
* Explore the Apple Jack Story Trail in Hardwick's Fruiting Orchard.
* Join the Pokémon Trading Card Game: 30th Celebration and hunt for hidden Pikachu art throughout the gardens and grounds.
* Gather the family together for The Stranger Folk digital adventure - an app-based mobile game based on ancient folklore and solve the puzzle together (for ages 7+).
For non-members of the National Trust, or visitors without a general admission ticket to the House and Gardens, the Wider Estate admission fees apply. Please check the website for further details.
