Staffordshire-based family-favourite attraction Drayton Manor Park is preparing for a scaring this October Half Term, with some ghoulish, family-friendly activities.
From Saturday 19 October to Thursday 31 October, the theme park will be hosting fang-tastic daily activities, including spooky shows from special Halloween Thomas and Friends™ characters, pumpkin carving and a Halloween Bale Trail.
Stars of Thomas and Friends™ will be on-hand throughout the Halloween spook-tacular, to provide entertainment at Knapford Station, as well as ghoulish Meet and Greets.* A special Thomas-themed Trick or Treat with the Fat Controller himself will also be taking place at 11am and 1pm daily.
