Alton Towers has added Dine with the Dead to Scarefest 2026, combining a three-course banquet with live performers moving through the dining room.
The dinner introduces the Vile family and their strange acquaintances. Performers stage scenes and encounters around the tables while guests eat, making the meal part of the show.
Matinee and evening ticket prices
Matinee tickets currently start at £69 for Tier 3 seats along the room’s outer edge. Tier 2 tables around the central stage cost £99, while Tier 1 seats at the Vile family table cost £149. The booking calendar currently lists matinees on October 24, October 25, October 31 and November 1.
Evening tickets start at £99 for Tier 3, with Tier 2 priced at £139 and Tier 1 at £249. The evening calendar currently lists performances each night from October 23 through November 1.
The after-party follows evening performances, with music and dancing continuing after dinner. It is not included with the matinees.
