VISITORS to the popular Midlands theme park Drayton Manor are in for a scary treat as it launches its annual Halloween festival.

Drayton’s ‘Spooktacular Halloween Fest’ will run from October 4 to November 3, with a programme of spine-tingling thrills promising to keep the whole family entertained – or rather on the edge of their seats.

Little ones can enjoy trick-or-treating on a new level, paying a visit to Sir Topham Hatt's house for a sweet treat, and can immerse themselves in the hay bale trail, where they will need to keep their eyes peeled for spooky clues around the park to win a prize.

There will be daily ‘Spooky Shows’ in both the main park and in Thomas Land, ensuring there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
