What is it?
Paultons Park transforms for Halloween while keeping its family focus. Peppa Pig World joins the seasonal fun, and the park adds pumpkins, characters and entertainment.
Is it scary?
The main event aims for playful Halloween rather than adult horror. Ghostly Manor adds a supernatural dark-ride theme, while younger children can focus on characters, costumes and dancing.
What changes later in October?
From 17 October, the programme expands with extra shows. Selected dates also run later into the evening, giving older children a chance to ride after dark.
Our verdict
It is a particularly strong choice for families with younger children because Halloween atmosphere sits alongside a normal theme-park day. Check your exact date, because shows and ride closures vary.
