Scare City is set to return to the North West for its fifth year, and is promising its “most immersive” horror experience to date.
After having firmly cemented itself as the region‘s favourite horror event every time spooky season rolls around, Scare City has announced that it’s getting ready for “another year of terror” over in Lancashire, and tickets are now on sale.
As the nights draw in and the temperatures begin to drop, Scare City will be taking over the grounds of the abandoned Camelot Theme Park, just as it has done for the past three years following the success of its initial 2020 launch as a drive-in cinema, from this September.
And this year’s event is set to feature a selection of terrifying zones – some familiar, some brand new.
The ‘Slaughter House’, where Camelot’s resident cannibal lives, the ‘Junkyard’, and the terrifying ‘Reaper’s Reach’, are some of the zones visitors can expect at the immersive walk-through attraction when it opens in a couple of months.

As mentioned, a number of familiar faces will be making an appearance this year, with the return of Carni Valley set in the darkened depths of the huge abandoned theme park being one of them, alongside the launch of a brand-new zone ‘Arakhne’.
‘Arakhne’ is set to be a “horrifying spider experience” where visitors enter the spider queen’s web of fear with her cluster of sinister creatures.

‘Basilica of Galgani’, ‘Infirmary’, ‘Vallis Mortis’, and ‘Contained’ are the other zones on the lineup.
With cannibal butchers, cults, and a serial killer’s dumping ground all on the cards, organisers say anyone brave enough to grab tickets to this year’s Scare City will get to experience “unadulterated terror” and leave Camelot believing in “pure evil” and “devilish deceit”.
Don’t worry though, if you need a bit of a break from all the terror, then once you’ve made it halfway around the attraction, you’ll arrive at the aptly-named the ‘Resurrection Zone’, so you can take a moment to fuel up on the feast of food and drink freshly-prepared by on-site vendors, all ready for the second half of the harrowing Halloween spectacular.

Scare City 2024 will take over Camelot Theme Park, in Charnock Richard near Chorley in Lancashire, from Thursday 26 September and run until mid-November.
Tickets are now available to book at £26.95 for standard entry, or £36.95 for the ‘Gold Entry’ (both plus a £2.45 booking free), which allows you to fast-track queues at the main entrance and at all zones, if you just can’t wait any longer to be scared.
