The castle is well known for hosting Halloween events and this year will be hosting a family-friendly daytime event and then an adult event 'Scarecaster' in the evening. 

From October 25 until November 3 the family festival will be held. 

On their website, Muncaster Castle said: "Family friendly activities throughout the day.
Full line up and itinerary to be released soon. This year in the Castle we present:
DRACULAR – a family-friendly castle tour. 

"This will include a Costume Competition, Scary Maze, Live Entertainment, Arts & Crafts, Spooky Garden Trail, and more."

From October 20 until October 28, Scarecaster will be running throughout the evening. 

The website explained: "From the moment you enter the castle you will be immersed in a poltergeist experience, as you explore and try to uncover the strange mystery that has left Muncaster deserted.

"Over the course of 45 minutes, guests should be prepared for jump scares, sustained suspense and fear, and elements of interaction."
