Alton After Dark won Gold in the Best New Event category at the UK Theme Park Awards last year. The award-winning event is set to return on select dates this March (15th – 16th, 21st – 23rd, and 28th – 29th), with Alton Towers extending its opening hours until 8pm, giving thrill-seekers a chance to enjoy all their favourite attractions after the sun sets.
A Nighttime Thrill-Seeker's Dream
Alton After Dark is a rare opportunity for guests to feel the thrill of the park's most iconic rides in a completely different atmosphere. Imagine soaring through the skies on Nemesis Reborn or feeling the heat of the Wicker Man’s roaring flames as they light up the night sky. Whether you’re a fan of high-speed drops or dark, twisting turns, the park’s signature attractions will be in full swing after hours.
For those craving an intense thrill, Oblivion promises a heart-stopping freefall into complete darkness. If you’re looking for something a little more family-friendly, the Runaway Mine Train offers guests a fun and thrilling ride through the darkened landscape of Katanga Canyon. With so many exciting rides to choose from, Alton After Dark really offers something for everyone.
More Dates, More Fun
The return of Alton After Dark for 2025 is highly anticipated, with the event extending to three weekends in March. With longer opening hours until 8pm, guests can make the most of their evening at the park, experiencing the magic of Alton Towers as the skies become dark. This expanded schedule gives both new and returning visitors more chances to enjoy the exciting lineup of attractions and nighttime magic.
