A spectacular Halloween event in Kent will see families climb aboard a steam train with a difference - Dr Frankenslime's Halloween Trick or Treat Express. The whole family will love the innovative spooky experience at the Spa Valley Railway in Tunbridge Wells.
And there will be plenty to laugh about too with Dr Frankenslime, the mad scientist, as you catch a ride on Wednesday, October 30 or Thursday, October 31.
The experience beings at Tunbridge Wells West station and there are three sessions each day, at 3.15pm, 5.15pm, and 7pm. Trains will return to the station after around an hour and 15 minutes.

The performance is by the Radtastic Theatre whose wacky Dr Frankenslime will be performing an experiment or two at Tunbridge Wells West before everyone boards the Trick or Treat Express to begin the journey to the haunted Eridge Station.
'Glow in the dark slime!'
Organisers say: "Along the way, Dr Frankenslime will hand out activity packs and colouring pencils to all the little monsters onboard. On arrival at Eridge station, everybody will make their way on to the platform where the mad doctor will show you how to make his famous, glow in the dark slime. All the children will get to take the revolting concoction home with them!"
On board the train for the return journey, the doctor will ask everyone if they would prefer a trick or a treat. Spa Valley said everyone should arrive at the times shown on their ticket to enjoy the pre-show at Tunbridge Wells West station. It said families should allow two hours for the whole experience which is aimed at "younger children and not older teenagers".
