Enter if you Dare - Lilidorei Launches Halloween Spectacular
Lilidorei’s ‘Spookydorei’ celebrations are back bigger and better than ever.
From the 2nd of October until the 3rd of November, The Alnwick Garden’s magical village of Lilidorei will be transformed for its annual Halloween extravaganza, perfect for children of all ages. The venue is also hosting a ‘Spookydorei Nights’ event for extra fun when the sun goes down.
With each of the village’s nine clan houses decked with eerie decorations, visitors can expect to enjoy a host of seasonal celebrations, with riddles, games and ghoulish storytelling taking place each day.
Lilidorei’s Head of Play, Nathan Bonk, said: “It’s that time of year again! Spookydorei is one of the biggest events in the Lilidorei calendar, with the play village undergoing a magical transformation for Halloween.
“With even more glowing lights, smoke machines and eerie sound effects than last year, each of our clan houses will have the ultimate makeover. Our Secret Keepers will also swap their brightly coloured attire for elaborate costumes, with dark motifs and rich textures reflecting the Halloween spirit.”
Throughout half term, children are encouraged to dress up and take a photo alongside their favourite clan house. All those who tag The Alnwick Garden or Lilidorei on socials with #Spookydorei are in with a chance of winning a free Christmas visit for their family.
Catering for children of all ages, Spookydorei has two trails to explore, with spooky and not-so-spooky options available. There will also be two sessions running this year, with the first (10am until 4pm) suitable for children of all ages and the second (5pm until 9pm), a new addition for the bold and the brave.
Guests are also invited to judge the venue’s annual Spooky Scarecrow Contest, voting for the local school they think made the most impressive Halloween creation.
Mr Bonk continued: “For children brave enough to wander the village after dark, Spookydorei Nights provides even more fun. Running on the 18th and 19th of October, and again from the 25th to the 31st, these spine-tingling evenings are perfect for those looking for a frightful ‘boo’ or two.”
