About

Have a wicked half term at RHS Garden Hyde Hall, with Halloween-inspired activities for your little monsters!

Discover deadly plants on a family garden trail, take part in spooky craft activities and enjoy a spine-tingling storytelling walk.

Garden admission applies; free to RHS members and children under 5.

Follow our family garden trail and spot the ingredients for a witch’s potion to cast your own magic spell! Learn about beautiful but toxic flowers, insect-munching carnivorous plants, freaky fungi called dead man’s fingers and plants used for spells and potions.

Trudles Doodles face painting is back by popular demand. Choose from a range of characters and designs to transform your face this Halloween.
