10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th-31st October 2026

Spooks is back for 2026.  More boo-tastic than ever. 

Last year was a total sell-out, so don’t miss out, grab your tickets fang-fast.  This year, the terror is turned up (just the right amount for kids) with the spookier-than-ever Trick or Treat Town, plus a brand new witchful musical.

Step into Trick or Treat Town, where its mischievous residents spend all year preparing for Halloween night.  Explore the town, meet the ghouls and help ahead for their night of tricks, pranks and mischief.  Bring their plans to life and you may be in for a sweet treat in this 30 minute interactive experience.

New show: Spellbound (included in your ticket price).  A spellbinding Halloween adventure awaits as the Green Witch and Bubble Witch join forces for a magical celebration filled with music, dancing and enchanting surprises.  This interactive 25-minute show is spooky fun for the whole family.  Accessibility: please note that the floor inside the Secret Garden is gravel.
