Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Wear sensible, flat, gripped shoes as many of the building's surfaces are uneven and potentially slippery, especially in the dark.
  • Bring a powerful torch, preferably a head torch, to navigate the dark corridors and be aware of the recommendation against wearing them to avoid blinding others.
  • Dress in warm, layered clothing as the building can become very cold at night, even if it seems warm outside.
  • If you have mobility issues, contact the organizers before booking, as this location is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with walking difficulties.
  • Be prepared for intense paranormal activity; there is a safe area available if you become too scared, and you must inform a team member if you need to leave early.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I get scared during the event?

Every event has a safe area which is always lit. If you do become afraid and want to take time out you will be taken to the safe area until you are ready to resume the ghost hunt.

Are there toilets at every location?

Yes, there are toilets at all of their locations. However, whilst most of the location facilities are of a high standard, some of our locations are abandoned buildings and the toilet facilities can be unsavoury. They suggest that you bring hand sanitiser for personal use.

Can I leave early if I want to?

If you wish to leave early you must let a team member know. You will be asked to leave during a convenient time such as in between group activities or during a break. This is so that the event is not disrupted by your leaving as car parks may need to be unlocked etc. You must let a team member know if you are leaving so that you can be removed from their fire register.

Do I need a torch?

Yes, you will need to bring your own torch. However, they prefer that head torches are not worn as they can blind other guests and cause accidents during the event.

What do I need to wear during an event?

They suggest that you wear warm layered clothing as some locations can be extremely cold whilst others are heated and can be quite warm. Flat, gripped shoes are mandatory as many of their locations are old buildings and have uneven surfaces. Also, some areas are outside where it can be wet and slippery.
