LINCOLNSHIRE SPOOKY STAY

Families can enjoy spooky tours around Burghley - one of the largest and grandest houses of the first Elizabethan Age - during a freaky Halloween fortnight.  Torch-lit tours at 6.30pm, 7:30pm  and 8.30pm will take visitors around some of the lesser seen areas of Burghley including the cloisters, cellars and dairy; all will reveal their spooky histories with the help of local ghostly expert Martin Tempest. The 6.30pm tour is for families and suitable for children aged 7 and up, but the later the tour, the spookier the subjects! Tickets cost £10 per person (adult & child). During the day, why not follow the Burghley Pumpkin Trail around the Sculpture Garden to find hidden pumpkins and receive a treat.
