Say Hallo to Halloween...if you dare
There's loads going on for Halloween - including what is being billed as the most terrifying haunted attraction in the south west. The question is: Are you brave enough to be a part of it? Click on the red links to discover more.
Puxton Park has sent out a chilling warning that it will bring your worst nightmares to life when Puxton Phobia takes over the normally tranquil park on October 24th-27th, 2024. The park will be transformed to include five haunted attractions including a Haunted Tractor Ride, which is a hayride from hell which willl have you begging for mercy. Then there's the Dolls House where your childhood nightmares come back to life. Or Ayslum where sinister inmates with malevolent eyes lurk in the shadows, waiting to pounce. Then there's the Freak Show where you will step into a world of hallucinations and insanity as your childhood fears of clowns and all things hellish are rudely awakened. Prepare for a sensory overload which will leave you questioning your own sanity. And finally there's The Dark Wood where behind the trees lurking in the shadows creatures are watching your every move, sensing your fear, and waiting to unleash their terror. Participants must be at least 12 years old, Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult and people with certain health conditions and pregnant women are advised not to sign up.
There's a zombie outbreak at Mendip Activity Centre - and you're invited to take up arms whether it be air with rifles, arrows or axes as part of the Zombie Response Team. Are you brave enough to take on the challenge?
All archery, air rifle, axe throwing, archery active and tobogganing sessions between 4th October - 3rd November 2024 are Halloween themed The tobogganing is for Under 12s where fancy dress is encouraged and trick or treats are on hand.
There's cinema - then there's cinema outdoors in the dark
Watching a horror movie in your home, or in a warm cinema with lots of of other people is one thing. But how about watching a scary movie outside and in the dark? That's the challenge from Scream Outdoor Cinema who are inviting you to join them at Clevedon Hall for a screening of the Halloween classic SCREAM!
Halloween at the Grand Pier is always a special event and this year's looks even better. Weston's famous Grand Pier is promising a week of spooktacular entertainment from October 26 to November 3.
