This Halloween, step into the shadowy rooms of Stowe House and join us on The Boo! Clue Trail! Armed with your wits (and a little courage), children will follow a path of spooky riddles and playful puzzles hidden throughout the house. Each room holds a clue — can you solve them all to uncover the secrets of the trail?

Designed especially for ages 5–10, this fun (and not-too-scary) adventure will spark imaginations, test detective skills, and fill the historic house with giggles and gasps. Costumes are welcome, and every young riddle-solver who completes the trail will earn a special Halloween treat!

Make & Take: Woolly Spooks 
Along the trail, stop by our craft corner and create your very own woolly Halloween friend to take home. Using wool, felt, and a scrunched-up paper ball, you’ll bring a spooky tassel character to life — will it be a googly-eyed ghost, a wriggly ghoul, or a silly little monster? With just a few snips and knots, you’ll have a frightfully fun companion for the season.

Join the Haunted Hall of Fame!
We’d love to see your best silly snaps with family and friends. Share your photos with us on Facebook and take your place in the Haunted Hall of Fame!
