The frightful attraction returns this October with its most ambitious year to date

Newsham Scream Park is ready to return to Liverpool this autumn with a completely reimagined terrifying experience. 

Set within the former Newsham Park Hospital - previously a Victorian orphanage, asylum and hospital - the attraction has welcomed thousands of thrill-seekers since launching in 2023, drawing visitors from all across the UK thanks to its unique setting. 

Opening to the public from Friday 9 October, just in time for spooky season, this year’s event introduces four brand new scare mazes, a redesigned site layout and new features that transform Newsham Scream Park into an entirely new night of immersive horror.

Kevin Midgley, Director of Newsham Scream Park, said: "When we were planning this year's event, we kept coming back to one question: what did our guests love most, and how could we make it even better? Every decision we've made has been driven by the people who have supported us over the last three years.

"We've taken everything we've learned and completely reimagined the experience. Every maze is brand new, the site has been redesigned and we've introduced a whole new layout that keeps the suspense building from the moment guests arrive. Even if you've visited every year since we opened, you won't know what's waiting around the next corner.”

Tickets are on sale from Wednesday 15 July with further announcements, including the themes behind each of the four new scare mazes, set to be revealed over the coming weeks.
