I have enjoyed a Halloween half-term residency at the magnificent Blenheim Palace for more than fifteen years. It really is one of the highlights of my calendar. Some of the children have grown up with me. I am as much a part of their Halloween as pumpkins and cobwebs! I love connections like that. It’s one of the best things about my job as a storyteller.
As ever, I was in the fine company of Thomas Trilby. His circus/magic shows are always hugely popular, and we run the day as a kind of high-energy tag team: one in, one out of the Big Top! He’s truly a star performer. You’ll find him here: https://thomastrilby.co.uk/
