This october half-term, from the 21st to the 29th, discover the myths and legends of halloween at Beaulieu, where there will be fantastic seasonal activities as well as traditional fun and games for the whole family to participate in to enjoy the enchantment of fall. Palace House, which has been the family home of the Montagu since 1538, is now decked up in decorations for the harvest festival, and you can get into the spirit of the season by participating in various fall activities. Visit the Victorian kitchen to see the soul cakes, a seasonal treat that has been made for generations, being prepared by the chef. Younger guests will have the opportunity to have a frightening design painted on their face, and there will be unique arts and crafts activities designed just for them to participate in. Follow the all hallows path throughout the Beaulieu attraction to learn about the history and mythology of Halloween and all Hallows Day. Along the way, you will find intriguing seasonal facts and learn about the roots of both holidays. Look all throughout the attraction for the spiders that have taken up residence there; they can be found anywhere from the national motor museum to the palace house and the beaulieu abbey. Can you find out where these eight-legged creatures have taken up residence? Explore the isolated mill pond walk for additional mystical goings-on to discover tree carvings of the fabled griffin, many-headed snake, and the green man of the woods. Fairy doors may also be found along this path, which belong to some of Beaulieu’s tiniest inhabitants. If you want to view the wonders that Beaulieu has to offer, why not take a journey on the high-level monorail or board the veteran bus? It is important to be on the lookout for ghosts during the fall, since this is the season when they are most active, and palace residence has a long history of occupants reporting seeing and hearing ghosts there. Attendees will be given the opportunity to hear terrifying tales of the past from costumed guides. Your general admission ticket grants you access to all of the activities available at the location. Visit the website www.beaulieu.co.uk/events for more information and to buy your ticket online in advance. The Beaulieu Gardens are open every day from 10 am to 5 pm. All of the attractions at Beaulieu, including the National Motor Museum, the World of Top Gear, Palace House, and the 13th Century Beaulieu Abbey and Grounds, are included in the price of a ticket to Beaulieu that is an excellent bargain. Why not cap off your half-term vacation with the fireworks spectacular on saturday, the 28th of october, which will have the theme “beaulieu goes broadway” for this year’s event? The fireworks show, which is synchronized to music and will begin at 7.30 p.m. in the grounds of the attraction, is considered to be one of the largest in the southern region. Before the commencement of the fireworks show, guests who arrive at the fireworks spectacular at 3 p.m. may enjoy traditional fairground attractions such as a huge wheel and popular gallopers, children’s swing boats, and a coconut shy. * Guests who have already purchased tickets to an attraction and who arrived earlier in the day are invited to remain and see the fireworks. Alternatively, you may get tickets to a separate fireworks spectacular event and arrive at the venue at 3 p.m. to wrap off your half-term vacation. * Traditional carnival rides can be enjoyed for additional costs that are quite reasonable. jane riddiford, public relations manager company: beaulieu address: beaulieu, new forest, hampshire, united kingdom tel: 01590 614603 email: pr@beaulieu.co.uk website: http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/ ben wanklyn, pr executive telephone: 01590 614641 email: ben.wanklyn@beaulieu.co.uk Xx
