ON SALE NOW: Enjoy a night under the stars at Alton Towers Stargazing Pods, new for 2019
Visitors to Alton Towers Resort in 2019 can get closer to nature, and wonder at the night sky, by booking a stay at the new Alton Towers Stargazing Pods, now on sale. The camping-style Pods are minimally furnished and sleep up to four people. So families, couples and groups of friends can now enjoy an outdoor adventure in the Staffordshire countryside sleeping just moments away from their favourite rides and attractions.
The camp of 102 Pods will be next to the Enchanted Village at the South East corner of the Resort. Each pod boasts one double and two single beds. They also have heating, charging points and WiFi, as well as under-bed storage and a small terrace. The Pods are arranged around ‘the green’ where children can play or use the telescopes to study the night sky. A communal block offers toilets, accessible showers and baby changing facilities.
Launching the Pods, Divisional Director for Alton Towers Resort, Ian Crabbe said: “More and more families are looking for affordable UK short-breaks where they can spend quality time together, try new things and enjoy their favourite destinations. “Alton Towers Stargazing Pods offer a truly unique experience: the chance to spend the night under the stars in our beautiful countryside setting and enjoy all that Alton Towers Resort has to offer.”
The Stargazing Pods join four other hotels at Alton Towers, including the world’s only CBeebies Land Hotel which opened in July 2017. The new Pods offer the most affordable way to stay at Alton Towers Resort, priced from just £88 per night off-peak and £123 in peak season. Overnight guests can gain early entry to the theme park and enjoy the restaurants and entertainment across the Resort*. The price of a night under the stars also includes a takeaway breakfast with hot drinks or milk and a freshly made bacon and sausage sandwich available from the Stargazing Pods reception building (vegetarian options are also available!).
