A popular Hallowe'en event is returning to the grounds of one of Cheshire’s most iconic National Trust properties this autumn — and it’s just a short journey from Manchester.
Halloween at Quarry Bank will take place from October23 to November 1, transforming the historic estate in Styal, near Wilmslow, into an eerie, after-dark trail filled with glowing installations, ghostly scenes and immersive light displays.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the former cotton mill, the experience promises brand-new elements this year — including catacombs, fire spheres and a mesmerising laser garden.
The trail has been designed for all ages, with plenty of spooky but family-friendly surprises. Visitors can enjoy seasonal street food and drinks along the route, from “bewitched burgers” to hot toddies and luxury hot chocolates.
Quarry Bank is less than 30 minutes from central Manchester and just two miles from Manchester Airport, making it one of the most accessible Halloween events for families across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and the North West. It’s also walkable from Styal train station and a short drive from Wilmslow.
Ticket prices range from £10–£14 for children and £15–£18 for adults, with parking spaces required to be booked in advance online. Tickets are available at HalloweenAtQuarryBank.co.uk.
