Head to Beamish and experience a spooktacular evening of tricks and treats with Beamish Museum’s Halloween Evenings on 28th, 29th and 31st October, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. Or head to Gibside for a Halloween Trail. Embark on a spooky quest and untangle the web of clues, uncover hidden secrets and make your way to the end of the trail.
Treat your dog this Halloween and indulge in tasty treats, and dress up in your scariest costume at South Causey Inn for their doggy afternoon tea, including a free 'doggy ice cream' for your doggy! A spooky Halloween guest will make an appearance with festive gifts for all and for a photo with you and your pooch. There will also be an extra special prize for the best doggy and owner matching Halloween costumes, so go all out!
