Alton Towers Scarefest
No stranger to Alton Towers, this is one of our favourite times of year to go! With enough spooks, frights and thrills for everyone, the unmissable event takes place on selected dates when the Resort becomes home to Halloween. Open until late you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite rides in the dark and for the first time Wicker Man’s flames will be lighting up the night sky! For. those in search of spine-tingling terror, you’ll need your wits about you when you enter the park’s terrifying scare mazes, but if you’re after a tamer experience they also have family entertainment throughout.
Scarefest runs during October and November on selected dates. View the full calendar HERE.
