Tips & Advice

  • Plan to allow at least two hours for your visit to make time for queues and all four scare houses.
  • Book online early, as tickets are sold in limited 30-minute arrival intake windows.
  • If bringing a dog on a lead, keep them in outdoor fairground and food marquee areas, as they are not permitted in the live stage marquee.
