Last chance to grab tickets to world’s longest outdoor horror attraction as new dates are added

Scare City Experience has got a new lease on life for 2022, and has taken over the abandoned Camelot Theme Park.

New dates have been added for the sellout success that is the world’s longest outdoor horror attraction, and this is your last chance to grab tickets.

After having terrified the North West masses for the past two years in a row now, the hugely-popular Scare City has returned once again for 2022, but not quite as we remember – as this year, it’s got a new lease on life as a walkthrough scare attraction.

Scare City Experience has taken over the iconic Chorley-based abandoned theme park Camelot.

The Medieval-themed park was a go-to destination nearly 30 years, before it closed back in 2012, and had sadly remained out-of-use and largely derelict ever since.

That was, until events company Park N Party brought the attraction’s abandoned rides and empty footpaths back to life last year for Camelot Rises – and now, Scare City Experience has moved into the legendary site with a “blood-soaked ordeal”.

For those who’ve got the guts to enter, a trek through “nightmarish zones” awaits.

Thanks to event sponsors Swizzels Matlow, brave souls can experience the fear of the unknown by taking on a 2km walk through different zones of terror at what is the world’s longest outdoor horror experience.

Giving you “more blood for your buck” than ever before, there’s 12 distinct scare zones at this year’s event – including the Swizzels Blood Curdling Camelot Castle, the Whirlwind Woods, the Medieval Murder Zone, and more.

Terrifying live actors will deliver two-hours worth of frightening fun, so you’ll need to make sure you keep your wits about you.

Event organisers have warned – and promised – that Scare City Experience is “not for the faint of heart”, and is only for those seeking “a festival of fear where glee and gore go hand-in-hand”.

Will you make it out in one piece?

After the terrifying event was first announced, the original run sold out in rapid time, which is why Park N Party has now launched a handful of new dates on 26 October, and 4, 5 and 6 November – with tickets now on sale.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

The magnificent grounds of Tatton Park will be transformed into a ‘glittering winter adventure’ this festive season.

With spooky season now a thing of the past, and Christmas merely a few weeks away, families will soon be whisked away into a world of folklore, enchantment, and enthralling performances as they enter the gardens of the stunning Tatton Park in Cheshire for an immersive, festival-like experience known as Yuletide.

Organisers say the captivating event promises to be a “truly magical experience” where folklore stories come to life through storytelling and live music.

All set to transport visitors right into the heart of Yuletide tales, the exciting new event – which opens next weekend, and runs through until late December – is produced by Wild Rumpus, who you may know for other magical local events such as ‘The Lanterns’ at Chester Zoo (2018-2022) and Just So Festival.

The highlight of this new event has to be The Glittering Trail, where beautifully-illuminated puppets and performers bring legendary stories of Yuletide to life as visitors wander through the park’s popular Japanese Gardens and make the most of the stunning winter landscape.

Families can gather around an open fire to toast marshmallows, all while they watch live performances that add even more magic to the evening.

Yuletide will be running at Tatton Park on selected dates from Saturday 16 November through to Monday 23 December, and tickets are on sale now – with adult tickets costing £20, children paying just £12 each, and free personal assistant passes are also available.

Students will be able to take part in a build-your-own ramen workshop this week, led by everyone’s favourite pan-Asian restaurant group, Wagamama. 

The workshops will cost just £5 (all of which will go to a brilliant cause), and will include the time spent creating your perfect meal, the actual food, plus drinks and sides.

Wagamama has teamed up with mental health charity SHOUT to host this cosy ramen-making workshop. 

Students will be invited to join Wagamama chefs in the kitchen, selecting their own broth, protein and veggies, with perfectly-cooked noodles, before sitting down at the restaurant’s benches to slurp up their creations with fellow students. 

There’ll also be toppings and garnishes including kimchi, tea-stained eggs, chilli oil, spring onions and more.

With merch to take home too, and steaming bowls of the best-ever autumn dish, this is a one-off event you won’t want to miss.

Each £5 ticket includes your food and two drinks, plus a variety of the new Wagamama winter sides and sharers. 

All money raised will be donated to SHOUT to support the vital services they provide. 

A representative from SHOUT will also be in attendance to talk about student wellbeing and the services available from the charity. 

Wagamama says: “At Wagamama, we believe having a conversation is one of the most powerful ways you can support someone struggling with their mental health. Whether it’s a quick check-in via text or an open conversation over a bowl of steaming ramen. no chat is too big or too small to make an impact.

“This ethos is one we share with SHOUT, a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging service for anyone in the UK who needs someone to talk to. After huge demand during Covid, SHOUT’s service has become increasingly essential + today SHOUT is more highly in demand than ever before.”

The Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant is donating £40,000 to SHOUT this year, plus providing perks and rewards for their team of volunteers, and hosting events in their spaces. 

The Wagamama ramen-building workshop will take place at the St Peter’s Square restaurant on Thursday 7 November between 2pm and 4pm. You can get your tickets HERE.
