Once Upon a Nightmare

Visitors embark on an outdoor walk-through journey along lantern-lit paths across the estate's gardens and woodlands. The route leads past the house, into a chilling circus, and through dark woods filled with live scare actors, soundscapes, and atmospheric lighting effects. Along the way, familiar fairy-tale stories unravel into twisted, suspenseful encounters.
