Chessington World of Adventures Resort will use ancients to ease Halloween heebie-jeebies!

On the most haunted day of the year, Halloween, Chessington World of Adventures Resort will offer petrified parents with a courageous child the opportunity to ‘Rent-a-Mummy’, to accompany their offspring to enjoy the spook-tacular Howl’o’ween fun at the Resort.

Having braved ancient tombs and centuries in the sarcophagus, the ‘Mummys’ will be available free of charge to accompany daring children while panicky parents relax and… ‘un-wind’.

Sarah Oldfield, Head of Guest Services at Chessington World of Adventures Resort, said: ‘’To ensure everyone enjoys the ultimate Howl’o’ween here, our -Rent-a-Mummy service is the perfect solution for anxious parents too nervous to ride rollercoasters in the dark and fear-less children who no longer need to be told ‘phar-no’ to scare attractions because of their parents’ worried ways.’
