This Halloween, Paultons Park in Hampshire is dialling up the spookiness and family fun with the return of its beloved Halloween Spooktacular—now featuring the brand-new Ghostly Manor dark ride.
A Haunting New Attraction: Ghostly Manor
Ghostly Manor, which officially opened in May 2025, is the park’s first-ever indoor dark ride. Guests explore the eerie world of paranormal investigator Dr. Kinley, navigating through haunted corridors filled with animated artifacts and mischievous apparitions.
The immersive ride features interactive gameplay—visitors use “phantom phasers” to capture ghosts, making it as engaging as it is spooky
Halloween Spooktacular Event Highlights
From Thursday 16 October to Monday 3 November 2025, the entire park—including Peppa Pig World—is transformed into a thrilling Halloween paradise
Park goers can look forward to:
- The Great Halloween Mystery Show: A musical mystery-solving adventure featuring Pickles the Pumpkin and the Spirit Squad.

Our team works incredibly hard to create the most family-friendly frights for Halloween each year, from thousands of pumpkins and creepy decorations across the park, to our captivating stage shows.
