Merlin are offering some great savings on short breaks across their 4 theme parks in the UK.

These offers end very soon, so see the websites below for all the details and don't miss out!

Fantasy Island near Skegness has announced that the Ice Mountain indoor roller coaster, previously at Winter Wonderland, will come to the park in 2019.

Paultons Park will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland this winter between Saturday 24th November - Sunday 23rd December 2018, on selected dates.

With the Halloween season upon us and a huge choice of spooktacular events to choose from, we've rounded up this year's highlights at the UK's theme parks and beyond into... The Ultimate Guide to Halloween 2018.

All of the most popular theme parks are as usual offering a comprehensive array of frightful fun, including Scarefest at Alton Towers, Fright Nights at Thorpe Park, Howl'o'ween at Chessington World of Adventures, Brick or Treat at LEGOLAND Windsor and More Treat Than Trick at Drayton Manor.

The UK’s original pleasure park Dreamland Margate transforms into a world of nightmares with Screamland, Vampire Pleasure Beach returns to Blackpool Pleasure Beach as part of a week of Halloween activities, Fear Island takes over Fantasy Island, and Twinlakes Park will become a Family Scream Park by day and an Xtreme Scream Park by night.

There is also a great lineup of family Halloween events at many other theme parks in the UK including Paultons Park, Lightwater Valley, Flamingo Land, Pleasurewood Hills and Oakwood.

Looking beyond the UK's theme parks, Tulleys Shocktober Fest is the biggest and best of the dedicated scare attractions around the UK and Warwick Castle becomes The Haunted Castle for Halloween.

Paultons Park has completely revamped their Halloween offering for 2018, introducing a new family-friendly walkthrough attraction and a new live show, as well as fun character meet and greets, a fancy dress competition and decorating the theme park with over 4000 pumpkins!

We were invited to spend a day at the park, taking in both of the new additions and enjoying all the rides and attractions.
