Brave our Halloween Activities with Creepy Climbs, Terrifying Treetops and More!

Brave our Halloween Activities with Creepy Climbs, Terrifying Treetops and More!

We’re going to be wrapping up our 2019 school holiday activities like an ancient Egyptian mummy because it’s HALLOWEEN! Read on to see what paranormal activities will be happening at your local Peaky haunt.

Trentham and Trafford Treetops:

Are you brave enough to take on our treetop adventure courses when it gets dark? We invite all ghosts and ghouls, young and old, to do our course later in the evening! There’ll be added scares and spooky characters lurking around. Our witching hours for child Halloween sessions start at 5pm whereas our adult sessions start at 7pm. For those who don’t sparkle or burst into flames in the sun but are afraid of the dark, don’t worry because both Trentham and Trafford treetop centres will be open during the day. Trentham Treetops are hosting Halloween sessions on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th October. Trafford Treetops are hosting Halloween sessions on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th October.

Trick or Treat at Trafford Treetops:

Trafford Treetops will also be taking part in Intu Trafford Centre’s Trick or Treat Event on Thursday 24th October. 40% discount will be available to all customers only on this day and only at Trafford Treetop Adventures. Customers can receive this discount by either booking at the centre or calling our sales office on 01782 722 226 to book. This discount will not be available when booking online. Our Halloween sessions are priced as normal (£24 for children, £28 for adults) but as always you can get 10% discount when you book online.

Audley Climbing Centre:

Alongside our October Half Term climbing sessions, we are hosting a Halloween climbing session later in the evening on Tuesday 29th October from 6pm until 7:30pm. The lights will be dimmed for a darker ambience and to add to the white-knuckle thrilling experience! We invite you to come dressed for the spooky occasion and we will award a prize for the best costume! The sessions are £8 per person, will be fully instructed and include equipment.

Astbury and Underbank Activity Centre:

As our October half term activity sessions run over Halloween, our Astbury and Underbank centres will become haunted and the activities will become paranormal on Thursday 31st October. So if you’re booking your child on this day, brace them for a SCAREVENTURE! This session involves land-based activities and challenges and is suitable for children aged 7-16. It runs from 9am – 3pm at both centres and is £25 per child for the day. If you are unable to collect your children between 3-3:30pm, we can offer late stays until 5:30pm for £5.50 per child where our qualified instructors will look after your children with indoor games.

Trafford, Astbury and Underbank Activity Centres:

Whereas, Astbury Water Sports Centre and Underbank Activity Centre’s half term activities run from Monday 28th October – Friday 1st November 2019. Plus, as it’s Halloween on Thursday 31st October, we’ll be doing a ‘Scareventure’ at Astbury and Underbank!

All children aged between 7-16 are welcome. No previous experience is needed and we will provide equipment and instruction so there’s nothing to be afraid of, even on Halloween.

The activity days run from 9am-3pm and are just £25 per child per day. If you want your child to have the full experience, so they don’t miss out, you can book your child on for the week at £100 so you get 1 day of activities FREE! Don’t panic if you can’t pick your child up between 3-3:30pm because we can offer late stays until 5:30pm which include indoor games to keep your child happy.

Audley Climbing Centre:

If your child loves climbing, they’ll love Audley Climbing Centre! Better to have them climbing our challenging indoor walls than climbing the walls at home. The Half Term at Audley Climbing Centre runs from Monday 28th October – Sunday 3rd November 2019 but is closed Wednesday and Friday. Sessions are suitable for children aged 4-14 and are just £6 per child! Times are 2pm-3:30pm Mon, Tues and Thurs and 10am-11:30am Saturday and Sunday.
