For those who want to experience the spooky atmosphere of the Underground Passages, throughout the October half-term holidays (27th October – 4th November, excluding 31 October), there will be special Witches & Wizards Tours of Exeter’s famous medieval Underground Passages.

Children are invited to explore under the city’s streets on guided tours and discover ingredients for magic spells. Using ingredients found, young adventurers are challenged to concoct their own magic spell and enter it into a competition with the opportunity to win one of many fantastic prizes.

On 31 October, the Underground Passages will be running special ‘Gory Story Tours’, highlighting some of the more unsavoury tales from Exeter’s turbulent past. Children can have a go at writing their own ‘Gory Story’ and again have the chance to win a fantastic prize.

A visit to Exeter’s Underground Passages includes an opportunity to experience an exhibition packed full of interactive exhibits, archaeological finds and a full-scale model of a section of the Passages.

Access for children under 5 years, wheelchairs and pushchairs is to the exhibition only. Admission charges applies and pre-booking is essential. Exeter’s Underground Passages are located in the city centre on Paris Street between the Next and Zara stores.

Honiton Road and Sowton Park & Ride stops are located opposite the entrance. Alternatively use city centre car parking. For more information about the amazing Undergrund Passages, please visit the Exeter City Council Website: http://www.exeter.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2914
