Tips & Advice
- For the 'Little Monsters Trick or Treat' event, be aware that actors will be in costume and may still be scary for very young children; parental discretion is advised.
- The 'Circus of Curiosities' main event is strictly for ages 16 and above due to intense scenes and themes not suitable for younger audiences.
- Book tickets in advance via TicketSource, as entry is available in time slots, and popular slots can sell out quickly.
- Follow their social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) for the most up-to-date information on venue changes, event details, and charity updates.
- Consider attending on a Saturday evening for the full 'Circus of Curiosities' experience, but be prepared for a potentially crowded and intense atmosphere.
