This will be a quieter, less spooky experience than our usual Halloween Train, designed to be a little more comfortable for families who may prefer a calmer atmosphere.
To help families feel more comfortable, the train will not be fully booked, allowing everyone a little more space. If the event proves popular, we may be able to add additional trains.

☕ Refreshments will be available to purchase
🎃 Dressing up is encouraged, but completely optional!
Please make sure to choose the autism and sensory friendly option.
