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”.
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.

From drone shows to free ice lollies – what went down at Parklife 2025

It’s been a few days since Parklife 2025 wrapped up, and now that we’ve all caught up on sleep we’re looking back on some of the highlights you might’ve missed.
With such a stacked line-up of live music, it would be impossible to have seen everything – from that sizzling final set from Charli XCX to Morgan Seatree’s emotional hometown show, plus viral sensation Interplanetary Criminal filling Matinee and D.O.D. getting the whole Big Top dancing.
One moment that you couldn’t possibly have missed if you were on the ground at Parklife festival was a surprise drone show which dazzled overhead on Saturday night.
As rap legend 50 Cent wrapped up his huge headline set on The Valley stage, and The Hangar came alive to the sound of Pawsa, fans got an extra special treat way up in the skies.
Hundreds of drones came together in an impressive, illuminated aerial display, starting with a 10-second countdown that stopped festival-goers in their tracks.
The drones then flew in formation to create iconic shapes like a yellow JD Sports duffle bag, an adidas shoebox, and the shape of a slowly-rotating Climacool trainer – and what a trainer it is.

That wasn’t the only bit of attention the Climacool footwear got at Parklife either – thankful fans were treated to free Climacool branded ice lollies and slushies on their way into the festival on Saturday.
As the sun beat down on Heaton Park (bar the odd brief downpour, classic Manchester), adidas and JD Sports arrived in an ice cream truck with the coolest drop at the festival.
There was a helping hand from social media sensation Yombo to hype up the crowd before the festival had even got started.
The Climacool has a textile lining and upper work, with a perforated midsole to allow airflow and keep your feet fresh – perfect for any city adventure (and pretty perfect for a day at Parklife, we discovered).
If the Climacool trainers have caught your eye – either in the sky, at the Climacool ice cream truck, or on social media – then the good news is you can now shop them for yourselves.
