Hardwick Hall
Free Event - Admission applies
Oh no! A crack has formed between our world and the spirit world, and all sorts of old British folklore creatures have escaped. It looks like they only have one thing on their mind, to eat all of Hardwick’s scrumptious cakes and bakes!
Download the free Stranger Folk app, available on The App Store and Google Play, to communicate with Old Mal, the crone who will lead you on your journey at Hardwick. Old Mal, has been around for 130 years and knows a thing or two about the best ways to banish the ‘Stranger Folk’, follow her directions carefully to seal the crack between worlds before it’s too late.
To take part, head to Visitor Reception to solve the riddle which will act as a password to the app and will start your adventure at Hardwick.
Please note that app is for outdoor use only. This app can be used in conjunction with a House and Gardens ticket for use in the garden, or a Wider Estate ticket for use in the parkland, for non-members of the National Trust. Please be respectful of the historic features and buildings on the estate and gardens.
