A spine-tingling after-dark Halloween adventure awaits in the forest

Returning this autumn, our family-friendly Halloween at Moors Valley transforms the woodland into an unforgettable illuminated trail filled with eerie encounters, immersive scenes and spooky surprises around every corner.

Don’t miss out…

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.
