Halloween at the Tower of London

This October half term, keep your wits about you and your sense on alert. With a thousand years of history housed within the Tower's walls, can you find spirits of the past this Halloween?

As you make your way through the Tower, you might find a wisp of white sweeping by you on the stairs, or the trail of a Tudor gown swishing past a doorway.

Catch sight of a medieval queen upon a crooked throne, spot a Roman soldier near the remnants of the London Wall, or glimpse the Wizard Earl concocting potions in his apothecary.

A ruined garden in the shadow of the White Tower hints at a lost palace that once stood there. Now with its gnarly roots, decaying walls and barred windows, it contains spirits waiting to be stirred.

This is a family-friendly adventure designed to spook, but not to terrify. Pick up a trail when you arrive and keep track of the ghosts that you spot on your visit.

And remember, you may see them, but they will not see you…
