We’ll cast a spell of spooky fun this October with our special family event, Meadow Brook Hall-oween!

Your little ghosts and ghouls will love trick-or-treating across the estate in their Halloween costumes. Families will enjoy the fall scenery while exploring outside along the woodland paths and inside the first floor of the historic mansion, before heading to our heated Garden Tent for games, crafts, cider and donuts.

Meadow Brook Hall hosts memorable holiday parties, featuring inspired cuisine, first-class service and a dazzling holiday atmosphere – at the season’s most incomparable setting!

Join us for a strolling costume party filled with tricks and treats for Hall-Oween: Bewitching Hour. Enjoy candy, popcorn and a cash bar in an enchanted – or accursed? – setting.

Hall-Oween: Bewitching Hour promises grown-up trick-or-treating, signature cocktails (Poisoned Apple Punch, anyone?), spooky snacks and all the atmosphere of a ghostly gathering. Bring a date or friends and follow our lighted woodland path over the bridge and stop at stations for mysterious thrills and chills. Guests are encouraged to dress up in costume for this fun Halloween-themed evening experience. It’s an eerie extravaganza the evening of Sunday, Oct. 26, that offers a fang-tastic chance to be your most glamorous or ghoulish self.

At Meadow Brook, volunteers are the heart of our mission, filling each day with their passion, energy & care. Our annual Volunteer Dinner is a celebration of their dedication and all the ways they make Meadow Brook such a special place.

We especially want to recognize Colleen Peters, who is this year’s winner of the Barbara Thorpe Award. This annual award is given by Meadow Brook staff to a remarkable volunteer who has generously given their time, skills, and heart to the Great Estate.

Eat, drink, and bid your way through a fabulous evening of impact, featuring live music, hors d’oeuvres & dinner, and a fantastic collection of items and experiences at our live and silent auctions.

It’s our biggest annual fundraising experience.

Nightfall at The Hall is set for Thursday, Sept. 25 from Golden Hour through Sunset. Tickets are $175 each and available online now!

Meadow Brook Hall’s historic stained glass windows have been restored to their original glory – and location within the mansion’s two-story Gothic-inspired Ballroom, following a shocking act of vandalism that occurred in February 2025 and an incredible six-month restoration journey.

After nearly a century, the stained glass windows were already in need of restoration and a project was in place to conserve the artwork prior to the destruction of one set of panels. It took a team of conservators six months to complete the work and all three sets of windows were installed back at Meadow Brook Hall this August.

We’re so excited! Meadow Brook Hall has earned the prestigious 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award, placing it among the top 10% of attractions worldwide, based on consistently high ratings and rave reviews from travelers.

This honor celebrates Meadow Brook as a destination that continues to deliver extraordinary experiences, exceptional hospitality and world-class preservation standards.

We are thrilled to welcome visitors from near and far to the Great Estate!

Art, mystery, glamor and family fun will transform Meadow Brook Hall this autumn, with a series of colorful fall events. This year’s event lineup features gorgeous outdoor floral art exhibit to thrilling film screenings of classic films, Flashlight Tours, Mystery Dinners, Hall-oween and so much more! All events take place at Meadow Brook Hall, the National Historic Landmark located on the campus of Oakland University.
