Halloween haunts in the Chilterns
This Halloween, discover the darker side of the Chilterns!
From prehistoric settlements and Roman roads, to medieval manors and wartime secrets, it’s no wonder ghost stories linger in the river valleys and legends whisper through the ancient beechwoods.
Whether you’re after a family-friendly fright or a chilling brush with the supernatural, the Chilterns National Landscape is the perfect place for Halloween adventures!
Halloween Fest at Hellfire Caves
Brave the tunnels and encounter mythical beats and radioactive spirits in the immersive Creatures of the Night experience (16+), take a Spooky Walk (family‑friendly) with gentler scares, decorations and refreshments, go Pumpkin Picking in the Walled Garden with photo spots, games, and treats, or dance the night away at the Kids Halloween Disco.
