Bracknell Halloween: £4 Mansion Trail, Pumpkins and Legoland

Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October, the final weekend of half term for most Bracknell Forest schools. The borough’s own Halloween event with a confirmed 2026 date is a £4 indoor trail through the mansion at South Hill Park on Thursday 29 October. The bigger days out are just over the boundary: Hallo’Welly’Ween at Wellington Country Park, Brick or Treat at LEGOLAND Windsor, and three pumpkin farms that have published their 2026 dates and prices.

The Lexicon has not announced its Halloween programme yet. Last year it ran a free pumpkin trail and pumpkin tunnels on the Lexicon Express, and it announced them in October, so expect news in the next fortnight. This page will carry it.

Everything below comes from each organiser’s own page, read on 3 October 2026.

South Hill Park Halloween Trail, Thursday 29 October

The only Halloween event inside the borough with a 2026 date so far is at South Hill Park. The arts centre’s Wilde Young Producers are running an indoor trail through the mansion on Thursday 29 October, 10am to 4pm, with last starters at 3.30pm. Tickets are £4. (South Hill Park)

• Drop-ins are welcome, subject to availability, so there is no need to book, though you may be asked to wait if it is busy.
• Start in the Tall Hall in front of the glass sculpture, and collect your map from the box office.
• It is billed as suitable for all ages, “from our littlest witches and wizards to the bravest Halloween fans”, with a trick or treat promised at the end.
• The trail is a fundraiser for the arts centre.

South Hill Park is at Ringmead, Bracknell RG12 7PA, and its car park now charges: our page on South Hill Park parking charges has the tariff.

The same week the Wilde Theatre has Come From Away from Wednesday 28 to Saturday 31 October, and the Studio Theatre follows with Ghost Stories for Christmas on 7 and 8 November, aged 10 and over. Our What’s On in Bracknell page lists them all.

The Lexicon: not announced yet

The town centre’s Halloween programme for 2026 had not been published on 3 October. The Lexicon’s news page carries nothing newer than 12 August. (The Lexicon, news)

Last year’s ran from Friday 24 October to Sunday 2 November 2025 and almost all of it was free. (The Lexicon, Halloween 2025)

• A pumpkin trail through shop windows, with a Lexicon gift card and a plush pumpkin cushion to win.
