Scone Palace is hoping a spooktacular sound and light show will help visitors get in the spirit for Halloween.
The event, which is entitled All Hallows’ Eve with the Spirits of Scone – Twilight Illuminations and will last for three nights, will partially take place in the estate’s graveyard.
The team at Scone Palace has worked with the same companies behind The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry.
The tour, which will be approximately 25 minutes long, is an interactive experience with the Spirits of Scone dressed in period costumes guiding visitors as they walk through the grounds and there will be other eerie, atmospheric surprises along the way.
The Palace is hoping this brand new taster event will attract many people to enjoy a truly unique Halloween experience at one of Scotland’s most historic visitor attractions.
Sarah Butler, chief executive of Scone Palace, said: “At a particularly mystical time of year, we are delighted to be hosting a very special ambient sound and light show here in the grounds of Scone Palace.
“We hope many people will come and celebrate Halloween with us and enjoy exploring our gardens and graveyard on our Twilight Illuminations tour.
“It has been wonderful working closely with the creative team behind the Enchanted Forest to come up with something that we are sure the many Spirits of Scone would be proud of.
“This year we are offering visitors a taster and plan to grow this event in 2017 to produce an even bigger and better Halloween illuminated tour next year with even more thrills for visitors to experience.”
However the palace is warning that the experience is not suitable for children under eight.
Therefore they are offering a range of daytime events including ghoulish puppet shows, face-painting and a fancy dress competition.
The palace café will also be putting on a special menu for the duration.
The tours will run from 5pm to 8pm from October 28 -30. Tickets are £6.70 for adults and 4.80 for children and are available on the evening.
