SUMMARY:The Boo Clue! Halloween Trail at Stowe House
DESCRIPTION:The Boo Clue! Halloween Trail at Stowe House\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Boo Clue! Halloween Trail at Stowe House\n\n\n\nThis Halloween\, visitors are invited to step into the shadowy rooms of Stowe House for The Boo! Clue Trail. Armed with their wits and a touch of courage\, children will follow a path of spooky riddles and playful puzzles hidden throughout the historic house. Each room holds a clue — and solving them all will reveal the secrets of the trail. \n\n\n\nDesigned especially for ages 5 to 10\, this fun (and not-too-scary) adventure will spark imaginations\, test detective skills\, and fill the grand rooms with giggles and gasps. Costumes are encouraged\, and every young riddle-solver who completes the trail will be rewarded with a special Halloween treat. \n\n\n\nMake & Take: Woolly Spooks  \n\n\n\nAlong the trail\, visitors can stop by the craft corner to create their very own woolly Halloween friend to take home. Using wool\, felt\, and a scrunched-up paper ball\, participants will bring a spooky tassel character to life — perhaps a googly-eyed ghost\, a wriggly ghoul\, or a mischievous little monster.  \n\n\n\nWith just a few snips and knots\, everyone will have a frightfully fun companion to celebrate the Halloween season. \n\n\n\nJoin the Haunted Hall of Fame! \n\n\n\nVisitors are invited to share their silliest snaps with family and friends on Facebook and claim a spot in the Haunted Hall of Fame. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nAdult – £9.50 \n\n\n\nNational Trust Member Adult – £7.50 \n\n\n\nChild Under 16 – Free with a paying adult \n\n\n\nPre-booked Group Adult – £7.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nMonday 27 October to Saturday 02 November \n\n\n\nDaily from 10.30am to 3.00pm \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\n\nThe trail and craft activity are free with admission\n\n\n\nKids go free with a paying adult\n\n\n\nPre-book admission tickets to avoid any spooky surprises — and park directly at the house\n\n\n\nLast admission to the house is 3.00pm\, with closing at 3.30pm
