Half term play activities are back at Hardwick with a Hallowtide twist!
About
25th October 2025 - 2nd November 2025
9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Play is back at Hardwick with the Elizabethan themes of Hallowtide weaved through the half term activities along with some spooky editions such as witches hat hoopla, broomstick barefoot walk, apple tree bean bag toss, and so much more!
There’s plenty of fun to be had in the Stableyard and a cosy hot chocolate or a delectable ice cream (because you never know with the Great British weather) is just a stone’s throw away.
If you choose to purchase a House and Gardens ticket, enjoy a quieter family adventure in the Fruiting Orchard and follow Old Mal's tale of Apple Jack.
There are free craft activities for children available on Mondays, the 20 & 27 October, sign up required at Visitor Reception. Suitable for children aged 5-12.
