Ghosts of Glamis

This Halloween, Glamis Castle is offering a spine-tingling experience as Ghosts of Glamis, bringing more thrills, scares, and ghostly encounters than ever before.

Adult only Halloween Tours

Brave visitors will embark on a spooky indoor tour where they’ll hear eerie tales of the spirits that are said to haunt the castle’s majestic rooms. This year’s tour will take visitors up the castle’s spiral staircase and offer glimpses of areas and stories that have never featured in our ghost tours before. As visitors explore these spaces, we recommend keeping your eyes peeled for ghosts and ghouls lurking in the shadows!

With jump scares around every corner and stories that will send shivers down your spine, Ghosts of Glamis promises to be a Halloween experience like no other. So, if you dare, join us for a night of frightful fun and discover the haunted secrets of Glamis Castle.

Our adults only Ghost of Glamis tours will take place on 25th, 26th, 27th, 29th, 30th and 31^st  of October between 6.30pm – 9pm each evening. Tours will last approximately 40 minutes each and tickets cost £20 per adult (14+).

Child friendly storytelling sessions

This year, Glamis Castle is excited to introduce family-friendly storytelling sessions as part of our Ghosts of Glamis event! Designed especially for those under 14, these sessions will feature a 30-minute ghost tour of the castle, filled with ghostly tales rather than jumps and scares. This change allows our later tours to be exclusively for those aged 14 and over, ensuring a spookier than ever before experience.

Storytelling sessions will take place every 15 minutes between 4pm and 5pm on Saturday 26^th and Sunday 27^th October. Tickets cost £ 5 per child (aged 5 – 13 years) and £10 per adult (aged 14+). Children 4 and under are permitted for free with a paying adult.

A perfect way to celebrate Halloween here at Glamis Castle – one of Scotland’s most dramatic, gothic and atmospheric visitor attractions.
