Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the start of the evening (16:30) to maximize your time for live shows, food, and experiencing all four scare attractions before queues potentially close an hour before the event ends.
- Consider purchasing a 'Standard Plus' or 'VIP Ticket' for fast track access to attractions, especially if visiting on a peak night, to minimize wait times.
- Dress in layers and wear suitable footwear, as the event is outdoors and can be chilly in October evenings, with potential for mud.
- If you are under 16, ensure you have a full-paying adult (18+) with you and that all attendees aged 16-21 have valid photographic ID (passport or driving license).
- Leave large bags at home if possible to speed up security checks upon entry, as all guests and bags will be searched.
