About Halloween Spooktacular
Get ready for a night of family-friendly frights, fireworks and Halloween fun as Applewood Countryside Park’s Halloween Spooktacular returns on Saturday 24th October!
Little monsters can take on our reimagined Friendly Frights Experience, meeting playful Halloween characters and completing fun challenges along the way, while braver souls can venture into the darker, more thrilling Wicked Haunts Trail.
Plus, enjoy a devilish disco, fancy dress competition, bonfire and spectacular low-noise fireworks, followed by live music and plenty more spooky entertainment throughout the evening.
Come dressed to impress and make a night of it with marshmallow toasting, face painting, street food, photo opportunities and Halloween fun for the whole family.

- Which Spooky Experience should I choose?
Our two experiences offer very different kinds of Halloween fun.
Friendly Frights Experience
Created especially with younger children and more cautious Halloween adventurers in mind. This is a playful, interactive experience where children can meet friendly Halloween characters, take part in silly challenges and complete their Little Monster Training along the way. Expect plenty of atmosphere and Halloween fun, but no deliberately frightening scares.
Wicked Haunts Trail
For the brave-hearted! Wicked Haunts is our darker and more thrilling experience, with live scare actors, eerie scenes, atmospheric lighting, special effects and surprises lurking along the route. It's best suited to older children, teenagers and adults who enjoy being scared.
Every child is different, so parents and guardians should choose the experience they feel is most appropriate for their family.
- Can I do both Friendly Frights & Wicked Haunts?
Your standard event ticket includes one entry per person to one Spooky Experience. Simply choose on the night whether to use it for Friendly Frights or Wicked Haunts – the choice is yours!
Want to experience both – or go around again? Upgrade to an Unlimited Spooky Pass for unlimited access to both experiences throughout their operating times.
There will be no individual ‘Go Again’ tickets available this year, so the Unlimited Spooky Pass is the only way to repeat either experience. On-the-night upgrades will be subject to availability, so we recommend adding your pass when booking.
- What if my child gets nervous or doesn't want to join in?
That's absolutely fine. Friendly Frights is designed to be fun rather than frightening, and children can watch or join in with the activities at their own pace – there's no pressure to complete every challenge.
For Wicked Haunts, yellow paddles will be available for any nervous guest (adult or child) who would prefer a less intense experience. Simply carry one with you to let our scare actors know to dial down the scares as you make your way around the trail.
- Do you offer VIP tickets?
Yes! Our Spooktacular VIP Pass is the ultimate way to experience the evening.
Your VIP wristband gives you:
- Unlimited access to both Friendly Frights and Wicked Haunts during their opening times
- Fast Track entry to both Spooky ExperiencesYou'll also receive tokens to redeem these VIP goodies throughout the evening:

- Is the event suitable for guests using mobility equipment or pushchairs?
Guests using mobility equipment or pushchairs are advised to consider off-road capability, as parts of the Spooky Experiences take place on uneven outdoor surfaces. For full details, please refer to our Accessibility Information.
- Can I bring my dog?
No. Due to the nature of this event, dogs and pets are not permitted. Registered assistance dogs are exempt. Please be aware that while fireworks are low noise and set to music, they may still include sudden bangs.
- What is your refund and cancellation policy?
Tickets are non-refundable, and refunds will not be issued due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our control.
In the unlikely event that we need to cancel the event due to exceptional circumstances, we will notify you as soon as possible and a full refund will be issued, minus the transaction fee.
