Venture into the hauntingly beautiful nightscape of Forest of Light, Halloween, at Sandy Balls Holiday Village. A spooky delight adorned with thousands of twinkling lights and effects that go bump in the night. Gather your ghosts and goblins of all ages for a delightful blend of gentle frights and fun, ensuring it's not too spooky for even the littlest of haunts. Listen closely for an eerie yet enchanting soundtrack of melodies and sounds that conjure creatures of the witching hour, as shimmering lights and colours transform the ancient woodland into a Halloween realm of light and shadow.
New Forest Activities have put a spooky twist on their archery sessions for October, with ghosts, ghouls, zombies and werewolves acting as your new targets. Then it's onto the pumpkin shooting round where your little monsters will get to decorate their pumpkins before watching them go 'splat' as they practice their newfound shooting skills. This one's smashing good fun! Treat (not trick) your little monsters to some scarily good fun on the Beaulieu River this Halloween. You'll head out in their stable Canadian canoes on the hunt for devilishly delicious Halloween candy along the riverside. Their fan favourite BattleZone just got a whole lot scarier! Paint the battlefield dead as your ghoulsome troops creep up on the enemy, using infra-red technology guns to spook your way to victory. These supernatural sessions will be taking place at dusk, when you'll be needed for their digital zombie shoot-off!
