Malahide Castle & Gardens, Saturday 26th October - Monday 28th October

Hettie's Hidden Cauldron at Malahide Castle & Gardens – It's Halloween, the most magical spell-casting time and Hettie Hagsworth's treasured cauldron has been taken!

Without her cauldron, Hettie can't mix her magical potions. And to make matters worse, silly Hettie has forgotten where she left her vision goggles. Now she can't even read her spells properly to bring her cauldron back! She's got no choice but to go on the hunt for it herself along with her black cat Salem..!

Join in this Halloween for a slightly spooky trail around the West Lawn as you follow Hettie's trail of magical chaos. Pick up an activity sheet on arrival, solve the puzzles, meet a collection of crazy Halloween characters and help Hettie find her belongings. There'll be some tricks and plenty of treats for all the kids taking part.
