The abandoned Camelot Theme Park turns back into a spine-chilling Halloween attraction this autumn

The North’s most terrifying Halloween attraction returns for its sixth year, promising to be even more chilling than before.

Starting out as a drive-in cinema in 2020, Scare City is now a walk-through horror attraction and has quickly become one of the UK’s most talked-about Halloween experiences.

This year’s Scare City will see the long-abandoned Camelot Theme Park site reopen as a living, breathing nightmare. Thrill-seekers can explore the haunted kingdom ruled by gruesome monsters, featuring a selection of eerie new zones including ‘The Hollow’ - a desolate woodland, ‘Puppet Master’ - the toy maker’s workshop where innocent toys hide deep dark secrets, as well as the return of a number of familiar faces including ‘The Slaughter House’ - where Camelot’s resident cannibal lives, and Carnivalley - the madhouse that is no laughing matter.

After a good scare, visitors can catch their breath with the food and beverage vendors at the halfway mark, known as the ‘Resurrection Zone’.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased here.
