With new “scares” introduced for 2019, the Halloween event takes place from October 19 to November 3 and is open until late on select dates, so guests can experience the castle’s 'spookiest' shows and attractions in the dark.

The roles on offer include both seasonal and some permanent positions, which play a central role in bringing the events to life.

Benefits include a Merlin Magic Pass, which allows staff to take family and friends to visit other Merlin Attractions for free, and gives large discounts in Merlin’s retail shops and restaurants.

Nick Blofeld, divisional director of Warwick Castle, said: “Our vision at the castle is to bring history to life through great engagement, experiences and spectacular shows, and our staff are key to achieving that.
