Preston Castle Haunt Builders Expo
May 4 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Preston Castle is recruiting volunteers to help design and build the 2025 Preston Castle Haunt, offering a chance to turn creative concepts into full-scale sets inside Northern California’s only “real” haunted castle. The project needs people with building, set-design, prop-making, or general craft skills; no prior haunt experience is required, only an interest in teamwork and safe construction practices.
An orientation and planning session will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Attendees will meet the build leads, review safety guidelines, and tour the castle at 2:00 PM or 3:30 PM to see where their ideas could take shape. Volunteers must be at least thirteen years old.
The gathering takes place at Preston Castle, 900 Palm Drive, Ione, CA 95640. Preston Castle Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; service hours may qualify for community-service credit. For details on the Haunt build or other volunteer opportunities, visit prestoncastle.org or call 209-256-3623.
