Brave the Trick or Treat Scare Route

Once darkness falls, families can head into Robin Hill's woodland for the Trick or Treat Scare Route.

There will be treats waiting along the way, but you might also encounter a few unexpected characters hiding among the trees.

The dark woodland setting adds to the Halloween atmosphere as families make their way along the route.

The event is promoted as Halloween fun for the whole family rather than an adult horror experience.

Halloween Party Tent

Once you've made it through the woods, head to the Halloween Party Tent.

A DJ will keep the party going alongside games, dancing, competitions and Halloween entertainment.

There will also be flash mobs, spooky circus skills and Cabin in the Woods activities to discover.

Come dressed for Halloween too, as there will be a Fancy Dress Competition during the evening.

Get Messy in the Colour Powder Arena

Things are going to get colourful.

Spooktacular includes Colour Powder Fights, with one pouch of colour powder included with every event ticket.

Families should consider wearing clothes they don't mind getting messy and check the organiser's latest guidance before attending.

Pumpkin painting and a range of other Halloween activities will also be available throughout the event.

Halloween Drone Show at 8.30pm

The evening doesn't simply fade into the darkness.

At 8.30pm, visitors are encouraged to look up as a Halloween drone show takes to the sky above Robin Hill.

The aerial display will provide the finale to each Spooktacular evening before the event finishes at 9pm.

With the surrounding woodland already dark, it should provide an impressive end to the night's activities.

Halloween Food and Mocktails

There will be plenty available for anyone who gets hungry while exploring.

Robin Hill will have food, snacks and sweet treats available throughout the evening.

Visitors can also look out for special Halloween-themed mocktails.

Specific menus and dietary information haven't been provided, so check directly with Robin Hill if you have allergies or particular dietary requirements.

What to Wear to Spooktacular

Fancy dress is definitely encouraged, especially if you want to enter the competition.

However, remember that this is an October evening spent partly outdoors in woodland.

Warm layers and suitable footwear are sensible, and families should check the weather forecast before travelling.

If you're planning to join the colour powder fights, choose your outfit accordingly.
