| Castle Howard firs Halloween event |
Castle Howard will host its first ever Halloween event when
the magnificent grounds of the historic house are transformed into a
spooky wonderland for a family friendly ‘Chills and Thrills’ spectacular on
Wednesday 30th October 2013.
Walk the flare lit path and catch glimpses of the house and
statues rising out of the mist before encountering the headless horseman and
his flame bearing guards amongst the trees. The fire damaged South East
wing will be brought to life by our spine-chilling story tellers, whilst terror
face painters and magic mirrors will transform you into a frightening sight
this Halloween.
The ‘Horses of Halloween’ grand finale will see Yorkshire
based Atkinson Action Horses, who have appeared in productions including War
Horse, The King’s Speech and Wuthering Heights, perform death defying stunts
and breathtaking displays with fire and explosions.
Fire eaters and stilt walkers will appear from the darkness
and owls, toads and creepy crawlies will take up residence in the eerie grounds
of Castle Howard this Halloween. There’ll be prizes for the most ghoulish
costume and best carved pumpkin too.
Katy Pryor, Events Manager said: ‘This is our first ever
Halloween event and now that we are putting together the finishing touches
we’re all getting very excited. It will be a unique Halloween experience, with
Castle Howard making the perfect backdrop for this family friendly evening’
Tickets are on sale now and cost £15 for adults, £10 for
concessions and Under 5s go free. Gates open at 4.30pm with tasty Halloween
treats on offer throughout the evening.
