From the creators of the wildly popular Twilight Trail comes a brand new light show with a spooky twist The Halloween Trail launches at the Trafford Centre, and its ghostly light installations are all focused around the theme of Skeleton Village… enter if you dare!

If jump scares aren’t your thing, don’t worry – the Halloween Trail features fun for all ages with delightful light artworks such as the mist-filled garden of light watched over by colourful bats, or a talking projection storybook of Halloween tales. The trail takes 40 minutes and encompasses the magic of the spooky season with pumpkin carving, marshmallow roasting, and even a skeleton disco. Light attractions include Helix, which envelops guests in a floating ribbon of light, and The Twist, a hypnotising, spiralling light that you won’t be able to look away from.

If you need to refuel after all the frights and excitement, a selection of special food and drink vendors from Manchester’s Freight Island will be on hand. For adults, there’s even Ye Olde Skeleton Arms, an old-fashioned pub that’s only a little bit eerie. 

Grab your ticket now and celebrate Halloween with an utterly immersive journey through the brand new, mesmerising trail.
