The Brockhole Halloween Experience

Brockhole is just a short drive from our Windermere Holiday Cottages and promises to be the biggest and best Halloween experience in the Lake District. There are a number of Halloween-themed activities for children of all ages.

Children can enjoy ghost hunting, the Professor Pumpernickel Science Show, wild axe throwing and even zombie archery. There are also spooky pet encounters and a forest of fear from the brave ones.

But book early. This is a very popular event.
