As the temperature and leaves fall Rowallane Garden, Saintfield takes on a different eerie feel. Head along and enjoy some Hallowe’en fun with your ‘little spooks’ as they have a perfectly petrifying Hallowe’en planned.

Their spooktacular Ghosts and Gourds event takes place on 17 & 18 October. Prepare to be spooked. The Garden is alive this Hallowe’en with a terrifying ghost trail, spooky stories, sinister characters from the Premiere Circus and watch your little ones be transformed with fearsome face painting. To top off the day why not behead, scoop out and carve your very own pumpkin to take home with you and ward away the evil spirit this Hallowe’en.

The event takes place between 12 noon and 5pm on both Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 October. Normal Admission charges apply. [National Trust Members Free]
