Alton Towers Extenuating Circumstance

Hello everyone, I booked a 2 days short stay for a family of 6 at AT costing approx. £1400. We were due to arrive today.

Unfortunately my teenage son had a seizure late last night and had to be admitted in hospital. He’s currently being treated and observed. They haven’t said when we will be discharged.

I contacted Alton Towers this morning to explain the situation and was quite surprised they outrightly refused to do anything till I insisted on speaking to a manager.

The manager didn’t offer much hope but said she’ll contact the hotel to see if the dates can be moved. Still waiting for her call though.

I’ll be grateful if anyone has any suggestions on what to do please. Thanks in advance.

Unless you took out holiday insurance there's not much more you can do than you already have.

Hope your son is feeling better soon!

They were fine when my daughter booked a ticket for the wrong day. Don’t give up hope OP.
I hope your son is better soon.
