The following details come from our advance listing for the 2019 event. They are historical, not the current Halloween programme.
Our original listing advertised a pirate-themed trail from 31 October to 3 November 2019. It described a treasure map of clues and riddles, prizes, marshmallow toasting and a chance to win a family break and a return visit in 2020. It also announced a short film, “Take Me Higher”, for the Masson Pavilion.
The 2019 programme marked 35 years of the cable cars, which opened in 1984.
The Heights of Abraham, Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, DE4 3NT. The operator’s travel information gives directions and parking details.
