About this event
Come and join us this October half-term at the Hyde Park Learning Centre for our free Halloween Discovery Days, packed full of spook-tacular free family activities!
From 28 - 30 October take part in a host of free creepy crawly autumn and Halloween-themed activities, including:
- Investigating our ‘feely boxes’ in the Witches' Den
- Exploring our hair-raising nature trail, discovering fascinating facts along the way
- Learning about the bats in The Royal Parks
- Listening to a spooky story!
Join us from 11am - 3:30pm, with last entry at 3pm. Storytelling sessions will take place at 12PM, 1PM, and 2 PM with all other activities ongoing through the day.
Dressing up is encouraged, so why not get into the spirit and come dressed as a ghoulish ghost or spooky spider?
Please note:
- Everyone is welcome to our safe fully enclosed site with toilet facilities (our grounds are accessible) but we do ask for no more than 3 children per adult and can only admit assistance dogs. At peak times, there may be a queue to enter The Hyde Park Learning Centre. Signing up for a free ticket does not give you priority entry in this queue, but we will be providing activities for children to do outside the Hyde Park Learning Centre while you wait to come in.
- The activities are suitable for the whole family to enjoy, allowing you and your children to connect with nature together (and giving you the chance to find your inner child!)
- For more information about visiting please see our FAQ's below or email us at PublicProgrammes@royalparks.org.uk.

Discovery Days are designed for families. The activities are aimed at children from 3 -11 years of age. We aim to have a sensory activity suitable for under 3's and some more challenging activities that are suitable for 11 years + (Including the grown-ups!).
The activities will run from 11am – 3pm, you do not need to arrive at a certain time. We recommend arriving before 2.30pm so you have time to explore before closing time.
