Halloween at Moors Valley
Event details
A spine-tingling after-dark Halloween adventure awaits in the forest
Returning this autumn, Halloween at Moors Valley transforms the woodland into an unforgettable illuminated trail filled with eerie encounters, immersive scenes and spooky surprises around every corner.
As darkness falls, step into the shadows and discover a Halloween experience unlike any other. Wander beneath towering giant skeletons standing watch over the forest, keep your distance from the sinister Demon Barber, and venture into a carnivorous garden where the plants may be hungrier than they appear.
For those brave enough to continue, uncover the secrets of ancient forest rituals hidden deep among the trees, where flickering lights, mysterious symbols and haunting sights reveal that something strange has awakened in the woods. Around every twist and turn, expect atmospheric installations, creepy characters and thrilling moments designed to delight visitors of all ages.

Warm up with indulgent hot chocolate and tasty marshmallows, enjoy delicious seasonal street food or treat yourself to something sweet while soaking up the haunting woodland atmosphere.*

What is the difference between Daylight, Twilight and Moonlight?
The trail remains the same at all times of day. Younger visitors may prefer to experience the trail with the spooky surprises in plain sight, whilst those hardier guests may only need the moonlight. Whatever time you visit, the trail is suitable for guests of all ages.
