Spooky days out across Winchester district

Get ready for the spookiest night of the year! We have some great ideas to get you and your little horrors into the Halloween spirit. From ghost stories and monster making, to wizards and witchcraft there is something for everyone.

Winchester is the ultimate destination for Halloween adventures this October half term. Prepare for a bumper programme of events with all the necessary thrills this autumn, guaranteed fiendish fun for all the family!

Start your day by polishing up on your broomstick flying skills at Marwell Zoo. Jump on that broomstick and fly over to the Watercress Line where you can walk in Harry Potter’s footsteps over the famous railway footbridge where he received his Hogwarts Express ticket in the film. Spend a day at Winchester Science Centre for live chemistry demos, dancing with witches and werewolves at the mini monster disco and screenings of Halloween classics in the Planetarium.

We can't wait to listen to Ghost stories by candlelight at The Great Hall - one of the finest medieval halls in England - a haunting setting for a spine-tingling tale!
