About this event
Spooky Island is part of Halloween at Alderford Lake in Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Alderford calls it “A spooky experience speckled with small frights for older children and not-so-brave adults” – a short boat crossing to a wooded island, then a walk through scenes, scares and live characters.
What to expect:
- Runs 30 October to 1 November 2026, after dark
- Boat crossing out, then woodland scenes with live actors, pulley bridges, sound effects and lighting
- “The full experience lasts around 30 minutes and finishes with the boat ride back”
- Best suited to children aged 8 and above; the guidance recommends it most strongly for ages 8 to 13
- “Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult”
- Outdoors: come dressed for the weather and for walking through the woods
- Buoyancy aids are worn for the crossing; uneven ground and narrow walkways, so not suitable for wheelchair users
