Halloween Hijinks
This Halloween weekend come and explore some of the darker tales of our history at Edinburgh Castle!
About Halloween Hijinks
There will be an activity trail, extra activities, chances to pose with pumpkins and maybe even dress like a King, Queen or Court Jester.
Meet some of our staff, resplendent in their Royal attire as they tell stories of ghosts, witches and dastardly doings.
