Tips & Advice
- Arrive 15 minutes before your booked time slot to allow for the walk from the car park to the trail entrance and to ensure you don't miss your entry.
- Download your tickets to your phone in advance, as mobile signal at the venue can be limited, and ensure your device's brightness is turned up for easy scanning.
- Dress in layers and wear appropriate outdoor footwear, as the event takes place outdoors and may involve queuing in potentially inclement autumn weather.
- Consider booking a daylight session if attending with younger children or those sensitive to darkness, as it allows for an easier transition into the spooky atmosphere.
- Bring a torch for emergencies, but use it only when necessary, as the trail's atmosphere relies on low-level lighting and the natural darkness of the forest.
