Venue: Hawkshaw Farm Park (home to Mrs Dowson's Ice Cream)
A Halloween fright fest featuring three evening horror attractions for adults and two spooky daytime encounters for children under 10.
Dare you enter Unhallowed Hill, the chilling corn maze attraction where murderous criminals and psychopaths lurk?
In Tingler’s Toy Factory it’s playtime for the hate-possessed toys which inhabit the old toy factory of the failed clown, Hugo Tingler. Step inside his devilish den for fun you will never forget!
At Hellfire Hall the heart of hellish horror awaits the foolhardy who dare trespass inside the house of Lord Dashwood where his sinister servants dwell. This intense scare experience includes extreme tactile effects, total darkness and claustrophobia with a twist that is electrifying!
Daytime attractions include Trick or Treat and the Labyrinth of the Lost Pirates. Join friendly witch Hagatha and the Spooky the Pumpkin for 30-minutes of interactive games, songs and stories. Afterwards visit the Labyrinth of the Lost Pirates for a swashbuckling treasure quest through a ghostly corn maze where a prize awaits those who crack the pirate’s code.
Side attractions include The Possessed Painting, Sir Scare-a-Lot, Street Theatre and the Wicked Witch Cafe.
