Spooky Safaris - Mini Land Rover Halloween Driving Experience for Children

Mini Off-Rovers presents Spooky Safaris – a Mini Land Rover Halloween Driving Experience for Children!

We dare you to drive with us this Halloween on a DRIVABLE Halloween Trail!

This year, 10 past residents of Tatton Park have returned for Halloween; their resurrected skeletons lurking around the Estate for you to hunt down in your Mini Land Rover. Will you discover them all?!

This spooky – not scary – unique Halloween adventure is designed for young drivers 5-9-years-old and a first at Tatton Park. It is an opportunity to enjoy a family Halloween experience and witness the delight on the face of your child as they get behind the wheel of their very own scaled-down Defender designed with them in mind.

This 30-minute experience begins with a safety briefing and practise time to allow young drivers an opportunity to get used to how the vehicle feels to handle: the weight and nature of how it feels to steer, allowing them time to feel more confident capable behind the wheel before embarking on the trail experience.

Then, into the woods you go! Who will you find?! The all-woodland terrain of Sandpit Wood makes the ideal spooky atmosphere for your Halloween adventure.

Upon completion, your young driver will be awarded for their driving with a fully personalised Driver’s License (not previously awarded on our themed experiences) and a certificate for completing the trail.

Don’t forget to share your photos with us!

Following your Mini Land Rover Halloween Driving Experience, head into the Gardens at Tatton to find the Skellies in Wellies waiting to be discovered in there! We challenge you to find ALL the skeletons hiding around Tatton Park this half-term.

There’s several more Halloween activities going on around the Park so make a day of it, pausing for lunch to refuel for fun in their fabulous café, family-friendly, café.
