Witch Corner at Abbotsford - Halloween Trail , The Abbotsford Trust
Once a month, when schools close their doors on a Friday afternoon, families can head over to Abbotsford for Family Fridays!

Explore the different chapters of Abbotsford’s history through an exciting selection of activity sheets, trails, or other activities which will be available for families to pick up and enjoy together. Whether wonderful worksheets about wildlife, tremendous trails about tall tales, each month there’s something new for families to pick up and enjoy together!

This October join Abbotsford for Spooks and Books. Walter Scott enjoyed spooky stories- and even wrote several of his own!

Halloween at Witch Corner Ticket Required
Explore more spooky stories still in our special Witch Corner trail.

Free activities (no ticket needed)
Why not make a miniature book inspired by a wizard's magic book in one of Scott’s stories?
