Good to know
Questions from the crypt.
Do I need a ticket?
No. Just turn up any time between 5:30 and 8:30pm. Treats are while stocks last, so earlier is safer for the little ones.
Is it too scary for small children?
It's spooky rather than scary: pumpkins, skeletons, lights and bubbles. Little ones and grown-ups are all welcome.
Should we dress up?
Absolutely. Costumes aren't required, but witches, ghosts and pumpkins all get a warm welcome.
What if it rains?
Keep an eye on this page. Any weather updates will be posted here first.
Are there allergy-friendly treats?
Treats are pre-wrapped sweets. If your child has an allergy, please check labels before eating, or bring a safe swap they can trade for.
