Get the Kids Outside with Magical Autumn Events
18 September 2018
Autumn Events at Eastnor Castle
Elf House Making & Broomstick Building, Giant Leaf Pile Kicking & Conker Collecting... Eastnor Castle Gets Kids Outside with Magical Events. The fact that the castle nestles on the fringes of the Malvern Hills, the landscape that inspired Tolkien's Middle Earth, ensures a fairy tale visit in its own right. However, we've added to the magic for children and adults alike with two magical autumn events this September. What's more, the dog can come along too as we welcome our furry friends in all areas of the castle and grounds.
Autumn Antics - Sunday 23rd September
There's no need to travel to New England to see spectacular displays of Autumn foliage. Our Breath-taking arboretum and tree trail is a testament to the Victorian's passion for creating exotic gardens based on worldly travels.
Children are encouraged to climb the trees, dive into giant piles of leaves and collect conkers and cones to their heart's content.
Herefordshire Wildlife Trust will also be on hand to teach elf-house making and also hands-on lessons in pressing apples to make your own apple juice.
Broomstick Making & Racing - Sunday 30th September
Don't miss the castle's last Open Day of 2018 - it's going to be spellbinding. Budding witches and wizards can attend broomstick-making classes against the enchanted backdrop of Eastnor Castle and then take part in broomstick races and zoom off around the grounds hunting for clues in a magical treasure hunt.
Both of these events are included in the entrance prices alongside the collection of permanent attractions which include a maze, adventure playground, tree-top walkway, woodland play area, rope-swings, tree trails and lakeside walks. Opening times are 10.30 am until 5.30 pm and prices are Adults: £7.00, Children: £5.00, Families: £20.00 (Grounds only admission, castle upgrades are available. Online ticket prices shown, tickets cost more on the gate).
