Halloween 2018 (14 Of 37)
Violet The Vampire Bat And Wilf The Werewolf

London, UK, 2025: Chessington World of Adventures has a whole host of haunted happenings this Halloween. Whether it’s brand-new spooky shows, fancy dress contests or scary roller coaster rides at dusk, there’s something for all the family to enjoy.

The Howl’o’ween fun takes place on 4th and 5th, and 11th and 12th October, before opening daily from 18th October to 2nd November 2025 and will be jam-packed with spooks for visitors young and old.
Guests can enjoy spellbinding new shows and interactive experiences that are sure to get everyone into the Halloween spirit:

  • Spelltacular! sees a group of buzzing wizards and witches work with the audience to reverse an accidental spell with a string of magical charms.
  • In Rising Flame: Shadows of the Tomb, a ceremonial spectacle unfolds before sand-stricken eyes as mummified monsters summon their ancient leader through roaring pyrotechnics, sandy storms, and heart-pounding dynamic dance.
  • Guests can throw some shapes at the Barnyard Boogie with a musical duo ready to dance the night away in a pumpkin patch.
  • Brave souls can enter the Stone Watchers: The Vampires Lair scarezone (if you dare) but beware of the gargoyle statues coming to life and chasing intruders away.

Thrill seekers can also take a ride on some of their favourite roller coasters at dusk, including Mandrill Mayhem, Dragon’s Fury, and the spooktacular, aptly named Vampire.

An extra treat on offer at Chessington World of Adventures this October is Enchanted Hollow: Trick or Treat with HARIBO & MAOAM* where children are invited to knock on a series of doors around the whimsical town populated by animal residents and be rewarded with sweet treats - or perhaps a trick!

But the fun doesn’t need to stop there, guests can dress up in their spookiest Halloween costumes and join Wilf the Werewolf and Violet the Vampire Bat at The Mini Stage for a show-stopping costume contest and be in with the chance to win a daily prize.

Tickets for Howl’o’ween are available at chessington.com/Halloween, with prices starting at £32 per person, including entry to the theme park, zoo, and SEA LIFE aquarium. Entry to Enchanted Hollow: Trick or Treat with HARIBO & MAOAM is an optional extra with tickets priced at £8 per person, and group discounts available.
