Step into the shadows this Halloween as Forestry England welcomes the return of a spectacular illuminated trail to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest on the Dorset & Hampshire border.

Halloween At Moors Valley is set to be even more thrilling with brand-new installations that will turn the forest into a spine-tingling, spooky setting.

Running from 23 October – 2 November, the trail will include a ghostly walk through the forest cemetery where spirits linger, a possessed pumpkin farm flowing with grisly grins, a bodysnatcher hiding among the trees and lurking in the shadows, an eerie-looking scarecrow standing still (unless you get too close…), and more.

There will also be devilishly delicious snacks available to purchase. From bewitched burgers to freaky fries, there’s something for every monster in your crew. Sip on a wickedly good hot toddy or indulge in a decadent hot chocolate as you soak up the spooky atmosphere.

The perfect experience for friends and all the family, Halloween At Moors Valley takes place during the October half-term. Kids can dress-up in their favourite spooky costumes, whilst dogs are welcome too, so your furry friends can join in on all the fang-tastic fun!

Whether you're hunting for Halloween events near Southampton, Poole, Bournemouth, or just looking for the best Halloween Events in UK, Halloween At Moors Valley is a must-visit destination. Ideal for families looking for Halloween days out, couples searching for spooky date night ideas, or friends searching for a ghoulish night out.
