Two distinctive October experiences in the heart of Essex

Autumn & Halloween Events 2026 at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa

As the evenings draw in, Greenwoods takes on a little extra seasonal magic. This October, choose between two very different experiences: an atmospheric evening of deception, deduction and fine dining, or a relaxed afternoon creating a beautiful autumn-inspired pumpkin centrepiece, followed by indulgent afternoon tea.

Whether you are drawn to intrigue or autumnal elegance, both events promise a memorable experience within the beautiful surroundings of our historic Essex hotel.

Fear the Faithful – An Immersive Dining Experience - fully booked

Friday 16th October 2026 | A night of deception, deduction and dramatic reveals

Trust is fragile. Loyalty will be tested. And not everyone at the table is who they claim to be.

Drawing inspiration from the tension and social strategy of television favourites such as The Traitors, Fear the Faithful transforms dinner into a live game of alliances, accusations and unexpected revelations.

Guests will be secretly assigned roles before being guided through a series of hosted rounds featuring challenges, discussions and votes. Suspicions will grow as the evening unfolds, all while you enjoy a carefully prepared three-course dinner from the Greenwoods kitchen.

Structured enough to keep everyone involved and relaxed enough to enjoy over dinner, this is a meal that bites back — with wonderfully entertaining results.

  • Friday 16th October 2026
  • 7:00pm
  • Three-course dinner - Tea, coffee and petit fours 
  • Hosted interactive social-strategy dining game
  • Age guidance: 15+
  • £75 per person
