Oakwood Theme Park is being transformed in to a ‘Scream Park’ to celebrate Halloween (October 26 - 31) with scary family fun for all ages to enjoy.

The Pembrokeshire park will be hosting a children’s pumpkin trail, a ‘Spooky Scorch’ colouring-in competition with prizes, and a Halloween fireworks display on Saturday, October 31.

Oakwood team members are also planning some extra special surprises for passengers on the ghost train of their Spooky 4D ride.

“The ride takes visitors through the inside of a haunted house with a series of scary effects waiting for them around every corner,” said Park director, Clare Stansfield.

“However, throughout the ‘Spooktacular’ event we’re including some real-life characters to add an extra interactive spooky feel to the ride which should keep even those who have ridden it before guessing where the next surprise will come from,” she added.

The park’s Skull Rock ride will also be populated with a posse of poltergeists who will be keeping everyone entertained.

To add to the fun and thrills, Oakwood team members will be donning their own spooky Halloween costumes.

“We thought it might be tricky to encourage people to dress up, but everyone seems to have jumped at the chance to become their favourite spooky characters,” said Claire.

“It’s a little disconcerting to be greeted by a vampire at reception and to watch skeletons and all these other scary figures wandering around the park – it looks like something out of a Scooby Doo cartoon!

“We’ve tried to put together a packed programme of activity for Halloween which appeals to all ages and will provide fun thrills and chills for everyone,” she added.

Set in 90 acres of spectacular Pembrokeshire countryside Oakwood is Wales’ biggest family adventure with more than 40 exhilarating rides and amazing experiences to discover.

Oakwood’s unique combination of attractions also includes spectacular family rides, children’s themed play areas and so much more.

• The Park will be open from October 24, 10.30 am -5.30 pm. The ‘Halloween Spooktacular’ runs from Monday, October 26 - Saturday, October 31.
