Once every ten years at Summerseat tunnel a portal opens to the dark past… But what evil beasties and nasty things await on the other side? Join us at ELR this year for family Halloween fun aboard the “scream train” and help the Monster Squad keep order and vanquish the ghouliees! Warning: This is a family event and joining in, screaming and singing is encouraged.
There will be ghoulish goodies galore, and your monstrous new friends will include a fang-tastically friendly vampire, a chatty Zombie, mad Dr Frankenburger, a snappy plant creature and more oddballs and curios. Be sure not to miss the all singing, all dancing “Skeletonettes” on the platform!
Make the most of this opportunity to show off your best fancy dress – you want to blend in with all the creeps and critters after all!
