Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets and parking in advance, especially for popular weekend or early evening slots, as capacity is limited and tickets often sell out.
- Consider the 'Relaxed Session' on Monday, October 27th, if you or your companions prefer a less crowded experience with the trail starting in daylight.
- Dress in layers and wear appropriate outdoor footwear, as the event takes place entirely outdoors on uneven terrain, and some areas may have low lighting.
- Turn up your phone's brightness and download your e-tickets before arriving, as Wi-Fi signal can be limited at the venue.
- While dogs are welcome, consider if the spooky themes and low lighting might be distressing for your pet; keep them on a short lead at all times.
