Fancy Dress - Friday Night

27/5/2018

Conference is just over 2 weeks away, and we wanted to let those of you that haven't been before know what to expect. For those of you that have been before, we still have some new things to do at conference as well. 

​Friday night of conference is our #FancyDress night, which this year has the theme of #ZombieApocolpyse. Although fancy dress is not mandatory, we do encourage it. As always, there will be prizes for both best male and female zombies or zombie hunters on the night, of £50 each, so it is well worth getting dressed up and join in the fun.

Please bear in mind however, that Alton Towers is a family orientated hotel. As such, Alton Towers have asked us to ensure that all members attending conference and dressing up as Zombies on the Friday night, do so responsibly. Zombies can be quite scary, especially for small children and some adults, so we have requested that this year, costumes are only to be worn in the conference area. Any face masks or prosthetics can only be worn at the fancy dress evening, and should not be worn when walking to or from your hotel room. 

Other entertainment on the Friday night will be the photo booth with zombie themed props, disco and raffle and magicians. We are still in the process of confirming an "extreme arena"  activity in the early evening. As soon as we have confirmed this, we will let you know, but it is basically an arena where teams or individuals compete against each other to hit as many targets as possible within a set time limit. 

If anyone has any concerns regarding anything about the fancy dress or other entertainment then either comment below or email us on [email protected] We look forward to seeing all of you dressed up as zombies on the Friday night!

So is it just prosthetics we are only allowed to wear in the conference room or the whole outfit?

Hi Dean,

You can wear your outfit in the hotel, however any face masks or prosthetics should only be worn in the Conference centre, and be removed when walking to or from your room.

However, please also bear in mind that if your costume is particularly scary, then you may consider covering it over when outside the conference room. Hope that helps?
