October 27 - November 2 Halloween Fear and Fun, Rare Breeds Centre, near Ashford
Halloween daytimes are fun on the farm but only a little scary, just enough to thrill younger children and make them laugh. There are fancy dress competitions every day, a spooks trail and don’t miss the famous devil's pig race.
October 27 - 31 Spooktacular half term fun, Kent Life, Maidstone
For a fun and safe place for youngsters to go trick or treating (between 4 and 6pm), knock on the doors of the attraction’s historic homes to see who is lurking behind them. There are sweets for every child who dares to wake the residents or join the hunt for wooden ghosts hidden around the grounds. Children and grown-ups are invited to turn up in costume and enter the daily fancy dress competition at 3.30pm, with a prize for the best one.
October 28 Halloween tricks and treats, Chiddingstone Castle, near Edenbridge
Enjoy an afternoon of traditional Halloween activities throughout the castle, between 11.30am and 4.30pm. With its ancient collections it is perfect for a little spooky fun. Everyone will be able to enjoy pumpkin carving (until stocks run out) and apple bobbing or take a ghostly walk around the grounds, but keep your eyes open in case one of the castle’s resident ghosts decides to make a surprise appearance!
