First ever Halloween Light Trail

Experience our wetlands after dark this October and November!

Our brand new Halloween Light Trail launches on the 11 October

When the sun sets at WWT Slimbridge, a magical world comes alive! This October, visitors can experience the wonder of nature in a whole new light with our new for 2024, Halloween Light Trail, running on select dates from Friday 11 October - Sunday 3 November.

Explore WWT Slimbridge after hours

Discover a world of pumpkins, shipwrecks, and scarecrows. Encounter the Marsh Witch and Bog Wizard - make a wish in the pond zone, get creative in the arts and crafts area, or toast marshmallows over the firepit.

Exclusive SENS Sessions for a relaxed experience

We're also offering specially designed SENS sessions on 11, 12, 18, 19 and 25 October. These sessions are crafted to provide a more accessible, relaxed environment for individuals who may be sensitive to intense sensory experiences. SENS sessions feature softer lighting during twilight, toned-down background music, and a gentler performance from actors, ensuring all guests can enjoy the magic of Halloween in comfort.

Fuel your Halloween adventure

As well as magical marshmallow toasting, the Kingfisher Kitchen will have spooktacular street food on offer. There will no tricks - only treats, with pulled pork, BBQ jackfruit and Aberdeen Angus burgers, along with dirty fries and giant onion rings.
