No Extreme Scares — Ever
The Family Experience is entirely separate from the adult trail. Different actors, different route, different atmosphere.
Sessions Before 7pm
Family sessions run in the early evening — so the kids get a magical Halloween experience and you're still home at a reasonable hour.
A Genuinely Magical Setting
850 acres of country park, a Gothic castle and ancient woodland — there is no better place in South Wales to spend Halloween.
Costumes Welcome
Come dressed up — witches, vampires, skeletons. Plenty of photo opportunities along the trail.
Food & Rides at the Village
Halfway through, stop at our Scare Village for street food, drinks, fairground rides and games.
Good to know
Children Must Be With an Adult
All under-15s must be accompanied by an adult throughout. Under-3s are free and welcome, though some sections may be a little spooky for very young children.
Before 7pm — Plan Ahead
All family sessions are before 7pm. For older teens and adults wanting extreme scares, see our Scream Time sessions after 7:30pm.
Outdoor Terrain
The trail covers outdoor paths in October. Wear sensible shoes — no heels. Bring layers and rain jackets just in case.
Health Considerations
Not suitable for those with heart conditions, epilepsy, anxiety disorders, claustrophobia or who are pregnant. Strobe lighting and haze used throughout.
Accessibility
One part of the indoor trail is not suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Contact us in advance if you have specific access needs.
Our promise: No blackout zones, no extreme scare actors, no jump scares designed to terrify. Fun, atmospheric Halloween entertainment — the kind that gives kids a brilliant story to tell at school the next day, not nightmares. For the intense adult experience, that's our Scream Time — after 7:30pm, strictly 15+.
Create a Halloween memory your family won't forget.
