🪨👻 Stonehenge Halloween Spectacle 👻🪨

Stonehenge, the iconic prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, is a perfect Halloween haunt—its massive stones whisper of ancient rituals and pagan roots, evoking Samhain, the Celtic festival that inspired the holiday.
With the autumn equinox vibes lingering, October 31st (or the half-term week around it) amps up the eerie atmosphere.
While English Heritage doesn't host massive midnight raves (to protect the site), expect family-friendly chills, historical tours, and nearby ghostly adventures. Dress in layers—the windswept plains get spooky-cold! 🌬️👻
Here's how to celebrate in 2025:

1. Stonehenge Half-Term Quest: Hunt for Creepy Clues 🕵️♀️🍂
Gather your "little monsters" for a ghoulish family adventure. Follow Dennis the Menace, Gnasher, and pals on a trail solving spooky puzzles around the stones. Then, channel Sherlock Holmes to crack the "Mystery of the Stones"—think cryptic riddles tied to Neolithic secrets and foggy folklore.

2. Inner Circle Access: Walk Among the Giants at Twilight 🌙🪨
For a truly haunting experience, book a special "Stone Circle Access" tour to wander inside the circle after hours. Guides share tales of druidic rites, solstice sacrifices (debunked myths, but fun!), and why Stonehenge aligns with the stars—perfect for Samhain reflections.

3. Pagan Vibes: Samhain Gatherings & Rituals 🌿🔮
-What: Modern druids and pagans often hold low-key ceremonies at dawn or dusk on Oct 31, honoring the veil between worlds. Expect chants, bonfires, and reflections on harvest's end. Not official, but a magical add-on.

4. Nearby Haunts: Extend the Thrills 🚗🕯️
- Salisbury Ghost Walks: 10 miles away, join "Spooky Salisbury" tours through medieval streets, hearing tales of plague ghosts and witch hunts.
- Longleat Safari Park (20 miles): Ghost tours, pumpkin trails, and fireworks to eerie tunes.
- Avebury Stone Circle (25 miles): Larger, free-access sister site—wander at night for full-moon chills (safely!).
