Halloween afternoon tea

Families can get into the spooky spirit of Halloween this October half term, with an afternoon of frighteningly good tricks and treats at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club. The magnificent neo-Gothic countryside hotel will provide the perfect setting for pumpkin carving and spooktacular cake decorating at a special themed Halloween Afternoon Tea.

Taking place on Sunday 28 October from 2pm, children of all ages can enjoy the hands-on activities, before enjoying the exclusive themed afternoon tea. On the menu will be some fang-tastic treats putting a seasonal twist on classic sandwiches, cakes and pastries. Halloween fancy dress for the afternoon is optional, but very much encouraged, so families are invited to dust off their vampire capes and witches' broomsticks and join in the fun.

Tickets are £17.50 for children and £29.50 for adults, including all activities and afternoon tea. At least one accompanying adult per three children is required.
