Halloween Witches of Watercress Woods

Visit the Witches of Watercress Woods this October half-term!

An immersive round trip over the hill and into where the witches wait…

Your journey begins at Alresford, where the Sweet Sellers greet you with tempting smiles and the promise of goodie bags for every child. But beware, nothing in Watercress Woods is ever quite what it seems.

Once onboard, the train chuffs into the trees and you’ll meet Hansel & Gretel, all grown up after years of being trapped in the woods with the witches. They need your help, and fast. The witches have been spotted near the line, and only the bravery of young passengers can keep the train safe.

Throughout the journey, families become part of the tale and help protect the train from the Witches of Watercress Woods. Expect surprises as the story unfolds, characters appearing along the route and plenty of Halloween fun without the fright.

Trains depart from Alresford at 12:30pm & 3pm, returning to your starting station. The full experience lasts approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, so please allow 2 hours for your spooky adventure.
