Get ready for spine-tingling chills and unforgettable thrills as Scarefest 2025 creeps back into Alton Towers Resort on selected dates from 27th September to 2nd November! Alton Towers has revealed the terrifying 2025 line-up, featuring a brand-new scare maze and a chilling scare zone – both set deep within the eerie shadows of Dark Forest.
New For 2025 - Edge of the Forest
Whispers wind through the withered woods at the edge of the Dark Forest, where a forgotten cottage stands as the last remnant of a forgotten time. Locals speak of the Leshwall, a lurking presence that twists the trees and plays tricks on the mind.
Ignore the warnings and step inside this live-action scare maze, but be warned - the vines twist, the forest shifts with every step, and you’re never alone.
New For 2025 - Dark Hollow
The forest breathes, its ancient roots stirring restlessly and shadows flicker between hollow trees. Dark Hollow is a free-flowing outdoor scare zone where a chilling presence watches, waiting to draw you deeper into the darkness. Can you escape the forest’s grasp before it claims you too?
COMPOUND
Step into a world where you’re the subject of a sinister sci-fi experiment. Scientists are attempting to weaponise your DNA… but things are far from what they seem. Navigate the disorienting chambers and shadowy hallways of the compound’s lab — and try to escape before it’s too late.
Altonville Mine Tours
Rumours are afoot that the old Altonville Mines are alive with activity once again. Following a breakthrough from local law enforcers, the notorious Skin Snatchers have been detained... but for how long?
Burial Grounds
The Unchosen, a cult obsessive of modern-day fanatics obsessed with the lore of the Beornen invite you to their sacred sanctum of ancient burial grounds. Keep your pace amongst the desecrated realm of unearthed bodies, flaming shrines and monstrous deities. Stay too long and they will choose you too - are you ready?
Amigos in the Afterlife
Step foot into a vibrant world this Scarefest, where the gap between this life and the next is at its thinnest! Be captivated by Dia de los Muertos celebrations, with its bright colours and festive spirits - but be careful, you've accidentally crossed through a portal into the afterlife...
Guided by friendly spirits, you must find your way back to the world of the living. Journey through this magical realm of spooktacular effects for the ultimate family fright night fest activity. You’ll encounter mischievous characters along the way, who will challenge you and your family with tasks to earn your passage back to the living realm!
