A pesky witch has cursed Belvoir. Can you break the spell?
Belvoir’s Enchanted Halloween Trail is the family Halloween adventure that takes Curse Breakers from the enchanted adventure playground, through the Animal Park, to the cauldron in the Retail Village — before midnight.
Come and go between the Animal Park, Retail Village, gardens and adventure playground all day long — a whole day of fun for the whole family. Nothing else in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or Lincolnshire gives you this combination of Halloween adventure, wildlife and dining in a single October visit.
The Animal Park is included with every Gardens & Playground ticket. Complete the mission and every Curse Breaker earns a free treat and the official title. Properly Halloween — silly, never scary.

Spell ingredients hidden across the adventure playground. The first step to brewing your counter-curse — and the start of a properly Halloween adventure.
Meet the Safari Squad — Gary, Katie, Dave and Stuart. Three of them are cursed. One holds the secret password. Included with every Gardens ticket — no extra charge for standard visitors.
Say the password. Brew the counter-curse at the cauldron in the Retail Village. The spell breaks — and every Curse Breaker earns a free treat and the official title.
Read Stuart’s tale before you visit so your Curse Breakers know exactly who they’re coming to help — the little calf who escaped the curse.
Every child who completes the trail earns a free treat and the official title: Belvoir Castle Curse Breaker. Because every adventure deserves a proper ending.
Properly Halloween — completely family-friendly. A pesky witch, a cursed playground, enchanted animals, and a cauldron. Mission-led, not frightening.
Trail, Animal Park, treat & the title — all part of Belvoir’s Enchanted Halloween Trail.
Book Your VisitA Halloween adventure trail that takes your Curse Breakers from the enchanted adventure playground, through the Animal Park, and to the cauldron in the Retail Village. There is no better-structured family Halloween trail in Leicestershire.
Spell ingredients are hidden across the enchanted adventure playground. Find them all — your counter-curse depends on it.
Visit the Safari Squad in the Animal Park. One of Stuart’s cursed friends holds the secret password — find them.
Say the password. Brew the spell at the cauldron in the Retail Village. Stuart’s friends are free — and every Curse Breaker earns a free treat.
“I escaped. I was too small, too quick. But Gary, Katie, Dave — they weren’t so lucky. I can’t break the spell alone.”
“I’ll know a proper Curse Breaker when I see one.”
— Stuart the Calf, Belvoir Animal Park

Book TicketsThe Safari Squad live in the Belvoir Animal Park. This October, all of them are enchanted — apart from Stuart. Finding the password animal is the heart of the mission — and the Animal Park is included with your ticket.
Too small, too quick. The witch didn’t spot him in the dark. Ears flat. Asking for Curse Breakers.
Quick, curious, always one step ahead — until the witch got there first. Stuart is particularly worried about him.
Full speed, no hesitation. Waiting in the Animal Park until a Curse Breaker finds the password.
Quiet. Watchful. The kind of gentle that stays with you — and he needs freeing too.

The Enchanted Halloween Trail is the adventure that brings you here — but Belvoir is built for a whole October day with the family. Explore the gardens, play in the adventure playground, meet the animals, stop for lunch in the Retail Village, and finish at the cauldron. No other venue in the region gives you this much to do at Halloween.
Gardens & Playground entry is your ticket to the whole mission — formal gardens, adventure playground, Halloween trail map, Animal Park, and the Curse Breaker treat for every child who completes the trail. One of the best-value family Halloween days out in the East Midlands.
Add Halloween crafts for £4.50 at the Retail Village — or book crafts as a standalone session. Ask at the cauldron on the day if spaces remain.

The trail ends at the cauldron in the Retail Village — families arrive already in the story, ready for the finale treat, then crafts, lunch, and browsing. Hands-on Halloween crafts continue the story and go home with you for only £4.50.
Come and go through the day: playground to Village, Village to Animal Park, then back again. No rushing — just a proper October day out.
Trail, gardens, Village and animals — one ticket, one brilliant Halloween day.
