This event offers spine-tingling scares, eerie events and hair-raising horror around every corner. They’ll have their scare mazes and zones to make all your darkest nightmares come true, plus live entertainment and shows that’ll send chills down your spine. Plus, a brand-new attraction for 2024 – the chance to ride Hyperia, the UK’s tallest and fastest rollercoaster, in the pitch black! Plummet 236ft in complete darkness as you reach speeds of over 80mph.

Alton Towers Resort will be running their Scarefest Halloween event every day from 11th October - 3rd November.

More daring guests can ride some of the park’s white-knuckle attractions in the darkness of the night, including Nemesis Reborn, The Smiler and Wicker Man. Brand new for 2024 is their Amigos in the Afterlife live maze, a spooktacular experience inspired by Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos celebrations, where you can meet mischievous characters along the way. Another brand new experience this year is the COMPOUND live action maze, a terrifying live-action scare maze that’s ideal for more daring guests, featuring intense and disorientating scares in dark, claustrophobic environments.
