A week of Halloween events has been announced at Kenilworth Castle in time for half-term.

The English Heritage site will be open for ghost tours after dark on selected days this October, as well as activities every day from October 27 to November 3.

'Halloween Half-Term' will feature storytellers "ready to enthral and scare" with tales from history, a Monster Hunting Academy and the castle's Halloween Quest, where adventurers can complete challenges and clues to become a witch's apprentice.

Young visitors are also encouraged to come dressed to scare to be in with a chance of winning a prize.

Simply take a photo and post it to the castle's Facebook page to be in with a change of winning an English Heritage kid's bundle.

The evening 'Ghost Tales' will run at Kenilworth Castle on the 27, 28 and 31 October.

For over 16s only, these tours will explore the deepest darkest corners of the castle by nightfall, with tales of ghosts, supernatural sightings and horrors will be revealed by historic storytellers.
