View eventHalloween events vary hugely in intensity. Use each event page for the latest dates, location and event description, then check the park's own age guidance and ticket terms before booking.
Some events are included with normal park admission, while others use separate evening tickets or charge extra for individual scare attractions. Late opening hours can also vary by date.
ThrillSense tip: The event cards above are populated directly from the ThrillSense events database. When an event is added or updated, this hub reflects its dates, featured status and UK, Europe or International region automatically.

Some Halloween events are included with park admission. Others are separately ticketed or charge extra for individual scare mazes.
If night rides matter to you, choose a date with enough time after sunset rather than assuming every Halloween day runs late.
Family Halloween, mixed events and dedicated horror nights can feel completely different. Check the event before taking younger or nervous guests.
Friday and Saturday nights close to Halloween are usually the most desirable dates, especially for separately ticketed scare events.
Use the ThrillSense event calendar to see what is happening now, what starts next and how long you have left to visit.
