Families in Swadlincote can look forward to seasonal entertainment this autumn, as Conkers will host its annual Halloween Spooktacular Light Walk from 28 to 31 October 2026. The event, held at the attraction on Rawdon Road, offers a mix of indoor and outdoor activities during the October half-term break.
The site, which is part of the National Forest Company, will open its doors at 5:00pm each evening. Visitors can take part in a variety of activities, including a ghost train ride and a walk through the woods featuring light displays. Indoor entertainment includes a 4D cinema and a disco with games running from 5:30pm until 9:30pm. Refreshments will be available for guests at the Explorers Rest Restaurant throughout the event.
Ticket prices for the event are set at £11 for adults and £9 for children for non-members. Members of the attraction can purchase tickets at a discounted rate of £9.90 for adults and £8.10 for children. Free parking is available for all attendees.
Conkers sits on a 120-acre site that was once home to the Rawdon Colliery. The venue now serves as a central part of the wider National Forest, an environmental project that has transformed 200 square miles of land across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire by planting more than 9.8 million trees since 1991.
