Enter the Labyrinth of Terror

This frightening outdoor experience has been specifically designed to challenge visitors both physically and mentally. The maze is dark, uneven underfoot and intentionally disorientating, with unexpected scares waiting around every corner.

Throughout your journey, you'll encounter terrifying characters, disturbing scenes and frightening surprises designed to keep your heart racing from start to finish. The actors are there to enhance your experience and will actively attempt to scare participants as they make their way through the maze.

If you're looking for a gentle Halloween walk, this is not it. However, if you enjoy horror attractions, adrenaline-fuelled experiences and testing your courage against your friends and family, the Halloween Maze delivers a truly unforgettable night out.

Can you escape?

Please allow at least one hour to complete the maze. Your chosen booking slot represents your arrival time, not the duration of the experience.

The attraction takes place entirely outdoors and visitors should expect muddy, wet and uneven conditions depending on the weather. Suitable clothing and sturdy footwear are strongly recommended.

Think you've got what it takes? Gather your bravest friends and family, step into the darkness and see if you can escape the Labyrinth of Terror this Halloween.
