Look out for some strange happenings in the neighbourhood at Beaulieu this October Half Term – it will be quite a spectre-cle!

Hear Spooky Stories from the costumed guides in Palace House, and children can take a lucky dip in the Witches' Cauldron and be given a Gruesome Face Painting.In the National Motor Museum, you can follow the Halloween Trail and see some of the 250 vehicles on show, from early motor cars to Land Speed Record Breakers. Don’t miss the museum’s exciting exhibition, BOND IN MOTION, displaying 50 of the best-loved and most iconic vehicles from the James Bond films. See the ‘Little Nellie’ gyro-copter from You Only Live Twice, the quirky Crocodile Submarine used by Bond in Octopussy and the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, with its adaptive camouflage system used to great effect in Die Another Day. You can also watch fantastic film clips and behind-the-scenes footage of some of the most thrilling vehicle stunt sequences from the film series.
