Fri 22 Oct - Mon 1 Nov 2021

Whether you’re looking for ghoulish goings-on or simply fancy getting away with your family before the rush of Christmas, our October half term breaks are the perfect escape.

As winter sets in and the evenings get darker earlier, embrace the colder weather and join us by the sea. Dare to walk through our Halloween Scareground, enjoy some fangtastic show, or get pumpkin carving.
