With Halloween looming, things are about to get spooky and there's no event spookier than the Scarefest at Alton Towers in Staffordshire!

Famous for it's thrilling rides, exhilarating experiences and electrifying entertainment, Alton Towers is the ultimate place to visit to get that adrenaline fix.

Each year, around the Halloween period, they have the Scarefest which sees the park staying open later until 9pm so that you can go on the rides in the dark…but keep your hands within the cart!

Scarefest also features four super scary mazes for visitors to get their heads around. Each one is as terrifying as the next – do you dare to enter?
The Scarefest Freak Show will also be returning for another year, but don't get too close, the people of this freaky circus show are eerie!

For those who want to be a little less freaked out, there is also family entertainment on throughout the festival including live shows, meet and greets with the spooky characters and of course the children's rides on offer at Alton Towers.

Alton Towers' popularity is thanks to their exciting rollercoasters and rides which millions of visitors go on each year. Their most popular rides include Nemesis, Thirteen, Oblivion and Galactica. Scarefest gives you the opportunity to be thrilled on these rides but in the black night of Halloween!

This year Scarefest takes place on October 7-8, 14-15, 20-31 and ticket prices vary but buying online at least five days in advance is one of the cheapest options.
