Theme park overnight stays this half-term from £22pp – including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Legoland

THEME parks have been able to welcome guests back during the pandemic, thanks to new safety procedures and social distancing guidelines.

With staycations on the cards this year, and holidays abroad looking unlikely for many families, theme parks are also offering bargain overnight deals this half term.

Both Thorpe Park and Alton Towers have launched their own versions of Oktoberfest, running until next month, as well as their annual Halloween events.

Alton Towers' Scarefest is back this year with new attraction Toxic Junkyard while Thorpe Park's Fright Night is also returning.

Legoland's Brick or Treat and Paultons Park's Peppa's Halloween are also welcoming guests back again next month.

Some events have sadly been cancelled, including the Alton Towers fireworks show, due to social distancing guidelines.

However, guests can still make the most of the quieter theme parks - and you might even face smaller ride queues than ever.
