The experience

The advertised zones include an accessible family trail, craft demonstrations in a Celtic-style village, storytelling with music and a food area. The event is designed for younger children, with costumed encounters and mild surprises rather than an adult horror attraction.

Plan your visit

The organiser announces October 2026 and says further booking details are coming. Confirm the available dates before travelling, since the broader imported date range is not a daily timetable. This is outdoors, so bring suitable shoes and weather layers.
