Starting on Saturday the two-week long event includes 'potion quest', a new interactive trail where children must help Wilbert the Wizard with a spell to reunite his family.

While navigating their way around the Safari Park's Discovery Trail, guests will encounter a number of witches and wizards, who are guarding different ingredients to Wilbert's potion. Once they have collected all of the ingredients in their potion bottles, they will receive a magical sweet treat for efforts.

Rochelle Zare, head of marketing at West Midland Safari Park, said: "We are so excited for this year’s Spooky Spectacular. Not only will guests be able to see our incredible animals enjoying the Halloween season on safari, but they will also be able to interact with our resident family of witches and wizards, ‘The Grimleys’.

“As dusk falls across the Safari Park, we hope lots of families are able to join in the Halloween fun and help head wizard, Wilbert, in his quest to find all the hidden ingredients across the Park’s Discovery Trail.
