Tips & Advice
- Bring a reliable torch; your phone's flashlight may not be sufficient for navigating the dark terrain.
- Wear sturdy walking boots with good grip, as the 4-mile route includes bog, mud, track, and trail.
- Dress warmly in layers, as the weather on the moors can be unpredictable and chilly, especially after dark.
- Ensure children are comfortable with the 4-mile distance and challenging terrain before booking, as the recommended age is 11+.
- Do not bring any weapons, even foam ones, as this is an 'escape and evade' event, not a combat experience.
Special Events & Promotions
- Fundraising event for Youth Programme and community activities.

You will need a reliable torch, appropriate walking boots, warm clothing, and water/snacks. Do not bring any weapons. Full details will be provided via email before the event.
Can children participate in the Zombie Hike?
The recommended age is 11+. All under-18s must be accompanied by an adult and be comfortable with the 4-mile distance and challenging terrain. Special glowsticks are available for children who prefer not to be chased.
