OCTOBER HALF TERM FAMILY FUN

21st October to 5th November

Across the ‘Frights of Abraham’ the Spooky Pumpkin Scarecrows are out on display, dressed to impress! Enjoy a warm hot chocolate at the hilltop park whilst the kids let loose on the adventure play areas. With indoor exhibitions and yellow, orange and red woodland walks, enjoy the beauty of autumn from high above Matlock Bath. Elsewhere on the 60-acre hilltop estate, a Halloween I-Spy trail is available for everyone to take part in. Children (and fun-loving adults) are invited to find items that Belinda Broomsticks has lost around the estate. She needs them to make a special potion in time for Halloween! Collect your free trail sheet at the ticket office with your cable car tickets. Live music on November 4th and 5th (subject to weather conditions)
