Ghostly goings-on at Butterfly House

A HAIR-raising haunted hayride featuring live characters, animatronics, smoke and sirens is one of the highlights of a tourist attraction’s Hallowe’en celebrations.

Rotherham's Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife & Falconry Centre is hosting its annual Halloween Spooktacular throughout October and the event promises fun and frights on a grand scale. Visitors daring to board the haunted hayride will come face to face with witches, werewolves, mummies and vampires as they tour spooky woods, complete with an abandoned mine, cemetery and skeleton-filled ship wreck.

Now in its fifth year, the Halloween Spooktacular also features a Haunted House and a Creepy Castle where younger guests can enjoy spooky story-telling.

There are also devilish bird shows and other terrifying treats including creepy craft activities and a daily fancy dress competition.

The Halloween Spooktacular runs every weekend in October and daily from Saturday, October 23 to Sunday, October 31.
