The nights are getting darker, longer and scarier—are you frightened yet? You should be, because the South West’s award-winning scream park is back for an 11th year this October. FEAR Scream Park is the quickest way to get your heart racing for Halloween, with its mix of immersive horror theatre and classic fun-fair thrills when it officially opens on Friday, October 10.
What can I expect from FEAR Scream Park?
With a festival-style atmosphere, FEAR Scream Park will be made up of two fully themed, atmospheric areas within the FEAR Scream Park: Stidham Village, a cursed rural community under the grip of the Blood Moon, and the Republic of England throws guests into a dystopian regime ruled by the New World Order.
This year’s scream park sees the introduction of a brand-new, headline maze, aptly-named Seeds of Evil. An ode to all things Halloween, the new attraction will bring you face-to-face with everything that makes this season so scary. It’s been described by Sam Bott, Creative Director, as “creepy, reverent, nostalgic and utterly original.”
But Seeds of Evil is just the beginning—with six themed shows each night across the site’s two zones, as well as immersive scare zones, fire and laser performances, aerialists, roaming characters, thrill rides, shock chairs and more surprises lurking around the corner. And still plenty more to be announced!
Meanwhile, on top of the main attractions, FEAR will bring two unmissable experiences for those looking to push their limits further. A video-game-esque, live-action survival challenge sees players defend a rebel base under siege in Lock + Load, while The Exorcism plunges visitors into an intimate performance, as good battles evil for the soul of Evelyn Grace.
What is FEARless?
Designed for tweens (11 – 15 year olds), FEARless offers a toned-down version of four mazes, no direct scares and a more playful, spooky tone. It’s a way for younger scare fans to experience the world of FEAR in a fun, age-appropriate way during half term. Think roaming performers, street food, music and just the right amount of mischief.
Tickets for FEARless start from £15.99, while FEAR Scream Park starts from £26.99. Both The Exorcism and Lock + Load are optional experiences and available at an additional cost. You can learn more about FEAR Scream Park here.
