Haunted Castle
Margam's Gothic castle is held by folk-lore to be be haunted - staff won't go in alone at night. They said we shouldn't go in too...
Professional Scare Actors
Our cast are trained, in character and relentless. They won't break — that's the deal.
Total Blackout Zones
Sections of the trail are completely dark. No phone torch allowed. You navigate blind.
Scare Village at the Midway
Recover (briefly) with food, drinks at the Spookeasy bar, fairground rides and games halfway through.
1km Immersive Trail
One kilometre of carefully designed horror — indoors and outdoors, twisting through the estate after dark.
