Halloween at Alderford after dark
This Halloween, Alderford is transforming for a season packed with frights, family fun and plenty of surprises.
Whether you’re looking for something magical for the little ones, a Halloween adventure for the whole family, or something a little more terrifying after dark, there’s something waiting for you at Alderford.
Dare to cross the water
Your worst nightmares are waiting on the other side of the water…
For those who dare, Nightmare Island is Alderford’s ultimate Halloween scare experience.
Make your way through the darkness as you encounter relentless scares, terrifying characters, spine-chilling scenes and unexpected moments designed to keep you looking over your shoulder.
The deeper you venture into Nightmare Island, the harder it becomes to tell where the experience ends and the nightmare begins.
Recommended for ages 16+. Not for the faint-hearted.
Set Sail for a Spooky Adventure
Big enough for a scare… but not quite ready for a nightmare?
Spooky Island is a frightfully fun adventure packed with small scares, spooky surprises and plenty of Halloween mischief, created especially for older children and not-so-brave adults!
Designed to deliver plenty of thrills without the heart-stopping terror of Nightmare Island, it’s the perfect next step for those who want to be scared… just a little bit.
Recommended for ages 8–12. All under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times.
Halloween on the big screen
Park up, get cosy and settle in for Halloween on the big screen!
Our Halloween Drive-In Cinema is back at Alderford, bringing a line-up of spooky favourites, family classics and films that are guaranteed to give you a fright.
Watch from the comfort of your car as the lake gets dark and the big screen comes to life. Grab your blankets, stock up on popcorn, sweet treats and cinema snacks, pop your headphones on and enjoy a Halloween movie night with a difference.
From family-friendly spooky fun to after-dark scares, choose your film, pull up a parking spot and get ready for a night at the movies.
Lights, camera… SCREAM!
A Frightfully Fun Family Adventure
This Halloween, head out on a magical outdoor adventure as the Trick or Trail winds its way around Alderford Lake and into the woods.
Follow the trail, hunt for hidden letters and crack the secret word along the way. Solve it correctly and there’ll be a sweet treat waiting for you at the end!
But your adventure doesn’t stop there. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore for everything you need to craft your very own wand or broomstick. Will you become a spell-casting wizard or a broomstick-flying witch?
Come dressed for the occasion too – fancy dress is encouraged, and the more spooktacular, the better!
