Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive within your booked half-hour slot and allow at least an hour to fully experience the maze.
  • Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions, as the maze can be wet, muddy, and slippery.
  • Consider the 'spooky' early sessions for younger children or those easily frightened, and the 'scary' evening sessions for a more intense experience.
  • If you have any medical conditions that might be affected by a dark, disorienting, or scary environment, opt for the earlier, less intense sessions or reconsider attending.
  • Be aware that actors and props are part of the experience; do not touch or interfere with them to avoid damage and ensure everyone's safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 'spooky' and 'scary' sessions?

The 'spooky' sessions (4:30 PM - 6:30 PM) are toned down for all ages with fewer jump scares. The 'scary' sessions (after 7 PM) are more intense with jump scares and live actors, recommended for ages 14 and up.

What should I wear to the Halloween Maze?

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear suitable for outdoor conditions, as the maze can be wet, muddy, and slippery.

How long does it take to complete the maze?

Please allow at least one hour to navigate the maze, though your booked ticket is for your arrival time slot.

Can I bring my dog?

Pets are not permitted inside the maze itself, but Chigborough Farm offers a secure area called 'Chigborough Unleashed' for dog walking and training.

What happens if I need to leave the maze in an emergency?

In case of an emergency, alert any actor or staff member, and they will guide you to the exit. For urgent help, you can call 07976804367 or 07702244440.
