Banff’s Duff House holding spooky events for Halloween
A historic Georgian mansion known for its ghost stories is holding spooky events for Halloween.
Duff House in Banff, which is said to have the Green Lady spectre stalking its corridors, is getting into the spirit of the season.
For the remainder of October, until Sunday, November 2, there is a Mythical Mystery Hunt around the mansion.
Visitors may bump into a giant, or come face-to-face with a fairy. It is included in normal entry.
On Halloween at 1.30pm on Friday, October 31, there will be a guided Woods Walk.
This will include exploring the inside of the Mausoleum. Normally a lovely and peaceful place - will it be on Halloween?
Later between 4pm-6pm, Duff House will be as people have never seen before. There will be an enchanting evening for all ages - where history meets Halloween fun.
The grand halls of the mansion will come alive with stories during a unique tour between 4pm-6pm. There will be exclusive after dark access and a free souvenir photo.
A spokesperson for Friends of Duff House said: “Tours will be 30 minutes long. Keep an eye out for the Green Lady - is she just a painting on the wall, or does she wander the rooms and corridors?”
“There is no booking required. Tickets are just £2 and children under seven are free.
“There will be a colouring and crafts space on the ground level, open to all over the weekend.
“Although we are unable to supply teas and coffees for this event, food and drinks are allowed in the crafting space.
“In addition to the events and the existing collection at Duff House, there are also two highlights.
“They are Work in Focus - with the current painting being ‘Christ delivered to the people’ by English artist Stanley Spencer.
“There is also The Eagle and the Unicorn - an exhibition telling the stories of many local Polish families, from soldiers that were billeted in Duff House and the local area just after World War Two. It celebrates the vibrant Polish community in the north-east of Scotland.”
