Halloween Holidays

Included in your ticket

This October come and explore some of the darker tales of our history.

For our younger guests there will be an activity trail around the castle alongside other activities and chances to dress up as a King, Queen or even Court Jester. Alongside the decorations and activities you may even meet James Buchanan (14th - 18th October) - an itinerant Apothecary who travels from town to town, and has arrived at Edinburgh Castle to attend to the needs of the Garrison. Join him as he offers for sale his potions and remedies as a cure for all manner of illnesses and maladies. Additionally he will pull teeth, let blood and cut off hair - he offers the full range of services!
