Where better to spend this Halloween than a place of that’s full of caves, witches and bones? Creswell Crags has all of these and many more stories to tell their visitors this spooky October. Join the teamfor a whole host of Halloween fun from Monday 24th to Sunday 30th October.
From Monday 24th to Friday 28th October you can join in with the Pumpkin Carving. They will provide all the tools and the pumpkins; you just need to carve! They'll even have ideas and templates to help you, and clean up the mess!
On Saturday 29th October join Derby Paranormal in Robin Hood’s Cave as they conduct a series of Paranormal Investigations. There have long been tales of ghostly apparitions on the Lake, of visitors feeling a presence, seeing unexplained lights or hearing noises deep in the cave. Did local people think evil lurked in the cave, and try to keep it inside? Did they think the cave was an entrance to the underworld? This Halloween you can see first hand whether a paranormal investigation can shed any light on the mystery – or maybe raise even more questions.
On Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October their Witch Marks Tours will have an even spookier twist. Travel back to a time of superstition and witchcraft and discover the 17th Century secrets of Robin Hood Cave. Your ghostly guide will lead you into the Gorge and around the cave, describing their world of plague, fear, and poverty, and explain why they carved protective symbols into the rock all those years ago. During the Twilight Zone Witch Marks Tour your guide will delve deeper into the world of Witch Marks, and discover the horrors of the time and place that shaped their creation. With talk of religious persecution, the nature of alleged witchcraft, and the Devil, this exploration of the Gorge and Robin Hood Cave as the sun sets will be sure to set your spine tingling.
Finally on Sunday 30th October their monthly Stone Age Storytime in ‘Mother Grundy’s Parlour’ will be a fun hour of Halloween stories! Children aged 5 – 11 will be led on a special Halloween journey through story and picture books with resident Stone Age storyteller, Simon, in the wonderful cave of Mother Grundy’s Parlour. Dress up for Halloween and enjoy an hour of spooky fun!

Creswell Crags, in North Nottinghamshire is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures. Stone tools and remains of animals found in the caves by archaeologists provide evidence for a fascinating story of life during the last Ice Age between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Further evidence came to light in 2003 with the discovery of Britain’s only known Ice Age rock art.
