GHOSTS and ghouls will haunt visitors at a historic Jacobean house as it opens its doors for Halloween-themed fun.

Kiplin Hall, near Richmond, will host a five-day Halloween Spooktacular featuring scary trails inside and out.

Younger visitors can hunt for the body parts of a dragon hidden around the house, which can be put together in the Mighty Wizard’s Workshop.

Bronia Gardner, Kiplin Hall’s marketing manager, said: “It's a magical time of the year at Kiplin. The autumnal colours in the gardens add to the atmosphere of our Halloween fun.

“There are lots of scary – and not-so-scary things happening – and we would be delighted to see new and regular visitors to the hall.”

  • The Spooktacular will run from October 21 until 25, and October 28 until November 1.
  • The hall will be open from 10am until 5pm each day and normal admission prices apply.
