October Half Term

25 October – 2 November 2025 | 10am – 4pm

We’ve got plenty to keep families entertained this October Half Term. Explore 14 acres of RHS partner gardens and enjoy the golden leaves of autumn. Discover the history of our 800-year-old Palace in a fun, interactive way with one of our multimedia family tours (included with admission).

Dare you enter the Dragon’s Lair? Young adventurers can step into the legend of Bishop Jocelin’s battle with the fearsome dragon! Afterwards, warm up in the cosy Bishop’s Table café with a warm meal or hot drink. A children’s menu is available, and the café is dog-friendly.

  • Wells Eco Week Trail – from Saturday 11 October

  • The Time Travelling Carpenter – Saturday 25 October | 10am – 12pm & 12.30 – 3pm
