Halloween Family Half-Term

Nothe Fort is running a Halloween programme for the October half-term, from Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November, with the site open 10:00am to 4:00pm every day. It's part of a wider stretch of Halloween activities across Dorset, where families can find pumpkin carving, haunted trail walks, spooky story sessions, arts and crafts, trick-or-treating and pumpkin patches, while older thrill-seekers hunt out more immersive experiences. Nothe Fort adds its own chapter to that, opening an additional spooky tunnel to explore during the half-term, with guides leading visitors through the history behind the Fort's walls.

There are also Family Ghost Tours, which take you through an extra tunnel and involve plenty of steps and one-way tunnels. Spaces are limited, and you book them for free from the Shop desk on the day of your visit, so it's worth getting there early if that's the part you're after. Between the tours and the open tunnel, the Fort is open 10:00am to 4:00pm from Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November, at Nothe Fort, Barrack Road, Weymouth, Dorset, DT4 8UF.
