This Halloween, Strawberry Hill House transforms into the stage of Horace Walpole’s darkest imaginings. Here, in his ‘little Gothic castle’, the Gothic was born: one night in 1764 Walpole dreamt of a giant armoured hand on a staircase and awoke to write The Castle of Otranto — the first Gothic novel, the blueprint for every haunted castle and uncanny tale that followed. Over half-term, shutters will be drawn, every room alive with flickering candlelight, as unsettling stories echo through the halls and visitors wander at their own pace. Families can take part in a riddle-strewn Halloween Garden Trail throughout the week, complete with a sweet treat reward from the Garden Café.
Normal admission applies plus £2 per trail.

Kew Village Market
2025-11-02 10:00 - 14:00 | Kew Village Centre, TW9, United Kingdom
What makes Kew Village Market so special? Is it the lovely leafy setting? The particular mix of stalls selling quality food and beautiful crafts? The great live music from local bands? All these and more add up to a monthly community event which residents, visitors and stallholders alike say is absolutely their favourite market – the very best.
With the village streets closed to traffic, on the first Sunday of every month (except January), around 45 independent traders set up their stalls, many of them award-winning and all of them loving what they sell, whether it’s craft beer or charcuterie, hand-knits or herbal infusions, perfect pies or pottery… And with great street food on hand the market has become quite the place to hang out for lunch, listening to the bands in the sunshine-yellow music marquee and meeting friends and neighbours.
Two-thirds of the stallholders sell food and most are there every month while the craft stalls tend to be more occasional. To help you plan your shopping, a week before each market here you can find a list of the month’s stalls.
Welcome
