About
Explore Henry VIII's notoriously haunted palace for Halloween 2023, the spookiest time of the year at Hampton Court.
This October half term, lose yourself in atmospheric projections and creepy sound effects as the palace is transformed by magical spells.
As you tiptoe through the dark winding corridors and courtyards, you’ll feel the chilling presence of our infamous ghosts hiding around every corner. Some may even be closer than you expect, but keep your distance – these ghosts are best kept to the past.
Double, double, toil and trouble, there’s even more magic afoot as witches and alchemists have taken over parts of the palace. Head to the Gallery of the Damned and see eerie portraits come to life, or stop by the Council Chamber to take part in a spine-tingling séance. Whose voice will echo from beyond the grave?
As you creep beyond the Haunted Garden, see if you can spot the intricately carved pumpkins. After all that exploring, cosy down to hear some spooky stories and then relax with a Halloween-themed treat from the café.
