This autumn, Halloween at Blenheim Palace returns with a thrilling new, after-dark trail set within the stunning grounds of the Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tickets are now on sale, for the event that runs from 22nd October to 1st November 2026. Brave visitors can step into a spine-tingling world of haunting experiences as night falls across the historic estate.
The newly imagined trail is a daring journey where every twist reveals something spooktacular! Venture into the Spider’s Lair, where cobwebs stretch wide and something stirs within. Stumble upon a ghostly Pirate’s Wreck lost to time, join the ranks of fearless Vampire Hunters tracking creatures of the night and for those that dare…descend into the chilling Catacombs, where the past refuses to stay buried.
Along the route, visitors can wander the hauntingly transformed grounds whilst dodging creepy characters and soaking up the spooky atmosphere with immersive sounds and lights – and unexpected surprises around every corner.
Blending spooky fun and Halloween magic, the trail offers the choice of daylight, twilight, or late night entry times. Daylight sessions are ideal for young children who want to experience gentle Halloween magic, whilst twilight and late night timings are a more intense experience for older children and thrill-seekers.
After a frightfully good time, guests can refuel with a tempting selection of food and drinks. Warm up with churros, toasted marshmallows, hot chocolate, or a seasonal spiced apple pie cocktail.
James Dakin, RG Live, Director of Live Experiences, said: “We’re so glad to announce this year’s reimagined Halloween trail at Blenheim Palace. From atmospheric installations to live characters and surprising scares, it’s an entertaining evening out for all Halloween fans.”
Zoe Bottrell, Managing Director of Culture Creative, commented: “There’s something magical about Halloween at Blenheim Palace. It is the perfect landscape to create a trail that delivers tricks and treats for all ages.”
Dominic Hare, CEO of Blenheim Palace, added: “Halloween at Blenheim Palace is a fantastic opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the gardens as they’ve never seen them before. The atmosphere, shocks and surprises along the way have made this a highlight of our events calendar, and we can’t wait to welcome visitors this year… if they dare!”
