Alton: Watercressline Wizard Week 26th October to 3rd November 2024

 




The Watercress Line transforms into a place of magic and mischief for Halloween!

We have lots of spooky activities to keep the kids entertained.

Our spook-tacular Wizard Week returns!

Children of all ages are invited to dress up as their favourite scary character – little monsters, ghosts, witches and wizards are welcome. There are prizes to be won at the fancy dress competition, to be held each day – with three age categories:

Under 4s – ‘Brand New Wizards’

4 to 8 year olds – ‘Emerging Wand Talent’

Overs 8s – ‘Potion Masters’.

Spine-tingling treats are in store – including terrific rides on the Wizard Express heritage train and the thrill of walking in Harry Potter’s footsteps over the famous railway footbridge where Harry received his Hogwarts Express ticket in the film.

Ghouls and ghosts can ride the steam trains throughout the day and hop on and off as they wish to explore the four heritage stations. Get stuck into our brand new slime laboratory and be spooked by some creepy creatures.

Activities run from 10am until 4pm.
