This October half term sees the return of Dreamland's Get Spooked, with freaky fun for all the family.

Opening from Saturday, October 21 until Sunday, October 29, there'll be plenty going on including a fancy dress contest, pumpkin carving and meet the Gruffalo.

Children under one metre tall will receive a free wristband to go on rides with one paying adult.
