Spooksville... If you dare! (SEND Session)
SEND-Friendly Halloween Fun at The Chester House Estate
This Halloween, we invite families to a specially designed SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) session at Spooksville—a calm, inclusive, and engaging Halloween experience.
What is the SEND Session?
Our SEND-friendly session offers a quieter, more relaxed introduction to Spooksville, designed for children with additional needs. The session begins at 9:15 AM, before the main event opens at 10AM, providing 45 minutes of peaceful, low-sensory access to the activities.
After this calm start, families are welcome to stay on for the full general admissions morning, giving children plenty of time to enjoy the experience at their own pace.
How It Works:
-
Start time: 9:15 AM (before general entry at 10:00 AM)
-
Calm environment: Lower noise levels, reduced crowds, and a gentler pace to help children settle in.
-
Extra time: SEND families can remain for the full morning session, finishing at 1:00 PM.
-
Suggested plan: We recommend trying the main activities - like pumpkin carving and the haunted pumpkin patch first during the quieter SEND period, and then moving on to the outdoor areas like the fancy dress ghost hunt once the morning general admissions session begins (this will involve moving around the site but in larger open areas to avoid crowded or loud environments.)
What to Expect
-
Runaway Ghosts Hunt – Track down five playful ghosts across the Estate
-
Haunted Pumpkin Patch – Discover glowing pumpkins with spooky secrets
-
Hay Bale Tractor Maze – Navigate a twisting, turning Halloween maze
-
Pumpkin Carving Station – Craft your very own pumpkin to take home or display
-
And much more... Spooky surprises throughout the site
