Visitors are encouraged to dress to thrill in their spookiest costumes, with a competition held for the best dressed.

The Spooky Maze will also provide a fright with ghosts and ghouls around every corner throughout the evening and visitors can ride into the twilight with a special late night experience, with firework display to round off the night at 10pm.

For the youngsters, revelling in half-term coinciding with the Halloween period, the Creepy Hollow interactive experience will be available from Saturday, October 20 to October 31.

That offers the opportunity to get as up close and personal as you dare with some gruesome real life creatures, such as giant snails, cockroaches and snakes.
