Enchanted Hollow
One of the most exciting additions for 2023 was Enchanted Hollow. Replacing the beloved Creepy Caves, this upcharge attraction featured incredible new sets and costumes, adding a playful twist to the classic trick-or-treat concept. Guests of all ages could knock on doors for chocolates, and pressing a secret button even activated a surprise party mode! The interactivity was fantastic, making this a must-visit.

Deep beneath the earth lies Enchanted Hollow, an underground village bustling with friendly woodland critters who are ready to welcome families for a truly magical trick-or-treat adventure. Guests are invited to explore winding tunnels and cosy burrows, knocking on each door to uncover hidden treasures, sweet surprises and the occasional cheeky trick.
The experience remains much the same as in previous years, but with one noticeable change — the free chocolate has been replaced with HARIBO and MAOAM sweets. This is perfectly fine for children who love sugary treats, but for families with little ones who can’t yet eat sweets, we’d like to see the chocolate return next year. The theming inside remains charming, the costumes are delightful, and the actors interact wonderfully with younger guests, creating an enchanting and memorable experience.

Hidden beneath the earth, Enchanted Hollow is a charming underground village filled with friendly critters, cosy burrows and winding tunnels. Families are invited to explore the village, knock on doors and meet its unusual residents while collecting sweet treats along the way. Of course, not every resident is quite as friendly as they first appear, with a few cheeky tricks waiting to surprise visitors.
Enchanted Hollow: Trick or Treat remains one of our favourite experiences at HOWL'O'WEEN. The whole attraction feels incredibly personal and interactive, with plenty of opportunities for children to engage with the characters rather than simply walking through and collecting sweets.
The treats are still Haribo, which we think is a slight downgrade from the chocolate bars offered in previous years. After all, you can't go wrong with chocolate! However, you do receive a generous amount of sweets for the price, making it good value compared with similar experiences at other theme parks.
We actually prefer Chessington's version to the equivalent trick-or-treat experience at Alton Towers. Not only do you receive more sweets, but the interaction with the characters makes the entire experience feel much more special. It's a really cute attraction and one that families with younger children should definitely consider experiencing.
