Brighton Asylum
2026 dates not announced yet. Details are from 2025.
Step into the chilling legend of Brighton Asylum, a place shut down in 1952 due to mysterious disappearances and horrific conditions. Now reopened, this massive walk-through dark attraction promises Hollywood-quality scares with terrifying live actors and special effects across three distinct haunted attractions: Brighton Asylum, Subculture, and The Bleeding Grounds. Beyond the scares, explore a horror museum filled with iconic movie props, test your skills in escape rooms and axe throwing, and capture memorable (and terrifying) photos.
