Christmas Market

10:00am - 4:30pm | Cost: Free when paying garden admission
Strange things have been occurring at the Hestercombe Lab.
Dr Smith and Dr James have spent the last year experimenting and finding new ways of reaching the supernatural. They recently made a breakthrough, unfortunately they have now disappeared and are nowhere to be seen!
This Halloween (21st to 29th October) follow the clues hidden around the gardens to find the culprit behind the spooky goings on at Hestercombe.
As well as our spooky trail, we have free interactive bubble shows and bubble play zone for all of the family on the Marquee Lawn and free storytelling in the Bat Roost (both Monday to Friday).
The perfect spooky day for the whole family to enjoy!
Prices & tickets
The Lab at Hestercombe trail is FREE when paying standard garden admission (Hestercombe members go free).
