Alton Towers Is Running a Minecraft Meet the Mobs Event This Summer
Minecraft is turning up at Alton Towers this summer with mobs, stamp cards, food and an in game reward.
From 18 July to 28 August 2026, Alton Towers is hosting Minecraft Meet the Mobs, the first event of its kind in the UK. Guests can meet baby Mob characters across six Minecraft themed scenes around the park, which sounds like one of those trails where you mean to do one bit and then end up doing all of it.
There is a trail and stamp card to complete, and if you finish it you unlock an exclusive in game digital reward. Costume characters include Iron Golem, Chicken Jockey and Creeper, with puppet characters like yellow axolotls, baby pandas and wolf pups too.
There will also be Minecraft themed food, including TNT popcorn and ice lollies, plus exclusive merch. The whole event is included with standard park admission. A similar event opens in Italy on the same day, but the in game reward is exclusive to UK visitors at Alton Towers.
