ALTON TOWERS

Creepy thrills are coming to Alton Towers for this year’s award-winning Scarefest. The event brings together the frantically funny and seriously spooky in a night of themed attractions, live shows and after-dark rides, including the all-new Toxicater and Wicker Man, the UK’s first new wooden coaster built in more than 20 years.

The park is open until 9pm and will feature unique scare attractions and, for younger guests, the Trick O’ Treat Town, where you can knock on the doors of townsfolk and collect sweet treats.

CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES

Celebrate the spookiest time of year at Chessington’s Howl’o’ween nights. The unforgettable event includes themed entertainment with brand-new Halloween shows, the Enchanted Hollow Trick or Treat and theme park rides at dusk.

You can even extend your break with a short stay in one of the resort’s hotels and unlock exclusive hotel benefits such as early ride time, hotel entertainment, free breakfast and more.

LEGOLAND WINDSOR RESORT

Join the Brick of Treat party and dance the night away with Lego Monsters this Halloween. The entire resort will be transformed into the ultimate autumn event with spine-tingling surprises, live entertainment and more than 55 rides and attractions.

New for this year is Lord Vampyre’s House Party, a lively new show that will get everyone in the Halloween spirit, along with the ghoulish residents hanging around the resort’s trick-or-treat stops.

THORPE PARK

Are you brave enough to face Europe’s top theme park scare event? Thorpe Park’s Fright Nights features soul-sucking scare mazes, hellish horror shows, and devilishly daring scare zones, including a brand new fright for 2025.
