HAMPTON COURT PALACE IS TURNED INTO HAUNTED HOUSE FOR HALLOWEEN
PHOTO SPECIAL
Hampton Court Palace has been transformed into a spooky haunted house, full of pumpkins and the ghosts of historic figures to mark Halloween.
Thousands of visitors – mostly families – turned up at the Palace today to see the ghostly goings-on accompanied by scary music and shadowy images behind windows.
Many of the children wore Halloween costumes as they explored the palace and bumped into the ghosts of Henry V111, Charles 1, Queen Victoria, composer George Handel and Michael Faraday.
The spooky spell lasts until November 2.
For the Halloween at Hampton Court Palace event period only (25 October to 02 November) spooky Halloween costumes can be worn by all visitors during their visit.
However, masks are not allowed, and costumes must be free of any loose glitter for conservation reasons.
Discover Henry VIII‘s notoriously haunted palace this Halloween, the spookiest time of the year at Hampton Court Palace.
