WHAT IS SCARE CITY EXPERIENCE?
We’re back! The award-winning Scare City Experience returns in 2024 – bigger, better, and bloodier than ever before.
Step into a world of terror like no other. The Scare City Experience, a unique and truly terrifying horror attraction in the Northwest, combines intricate set design, live actors throughout 10 zones – more than any other scare attraction! – and horrifying SFX to give you an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Set in the darkened depths of a huge abandoned theme park, this is a horror event like no other – providing a truly immersive scare experience with an authentically terrifying environment, all across one continuous trail.
Our cast and crew of spine-chilling spectres are eagerly awaiting your arrival at the most unforgettable Halloween scare event yet.
LOCATED AT THE CAMELOT ABANDONED THEME PARK, CHORLEY, UK.
Step into the unknown and witness pure, unadulterated terror at the Scare City Experience.
See you on the other side – if you make it that far.
OUR ZONES
Slaughter House
Camelot’s resident cannibal has set the date for his annual dinner party – and you’re invited. Feel free to pull up a chair and tuck in, but beware – you could find yourself on the menu before the night is out. As our host aims to make a meal out of you, keep your eyes peeled and you might even make it to dessert. Prepare to meat your fate.
Carni Valley
Step up, step up, and take your place in Carni Valley, where we take all the fun OUT of the funhouse. A place of dark magic, where the ground can shift beneath your feet and you should never trust your own reflection. Your stay at the madhouse begins here.Â
Arakhne
Enter the spider queen’s web of fear, and face her 8-legged army of crawling terror. A horrifying experience for arachnophobes and those with an aversion to anything creepy crawly, attempt to survive an encounter with this cluster of insidious insects. Once you’re caught in Arakhne’s web, there can be no escape.
BASILICA OF GALGANI
Join the sisterhood and peer beneath their cloak of devilish deceit. Once you enter Galgani and gaze upon the true face of fear, you too will worship at the altar of evil. If you find yourself looking for a swift exit, then save your prayers. This holy house will make everyone a believer in pure evil.
INFIRMARY
In our operating theatre, the treatment is so good people can’t stop screaming about it. As you are our next patient, it’s time for a disquieting disclaimer: Their equipment is rusty, their qualifications are questionable, and pain relief is in short supply. But don’t worry, this won’t hurt a bit. It’s time to put all your fears on the operating table.
REAPER’S RANCH
Book your stay at the Reaper’s Ranch, but forget the departure date – this trip is permanent. If you make it past the cursed scarecrows alive, you’ll be met inside our fine establishment by decay, depravity, and a lingering sense of death. But it won’t linger for long. Something is coming for you. Escape to our Scarebnb, where the check-out time is eternity.
JUNKYARD
If you wander into the junkyard, look out for a killer amongst the cars. As rumours spread about a savage serial murderer who hides his victims amongst hunks of metal, it might be time to abandon your life plans and prepare for a burial atop the scrapheap.
VALLIS MORTIS
Welcome to Vallis Mortis, where the fairy tales of your dreams become the scary tales that nightmares are made of. Journey into the woods and meet all your old childhood favourites – but you’ll find no friends amongst the trees, as death and despair lurk around every corner. Your happily never after awaits.
CONTAINED
Your pulse is racing, pupils dilated, and sweat runs down your twisted face. These are the trademark symptoms of The Virus. Quarantine awaits. As you face containment, prepare to share your new home with other infected specimens. Battle through the bloodied hordes of zombies and attempt to escape with your life. Try to stay calm – your fear is infectious.

Amazing experience last night! Came with my family and had lots of fun! The whole experience was 10/10 defo go with someone who gets jumpy and scared easily, makes the experience so much fun!!
It was an amazing night from start to finish, everyone played a good part – I’d definitely recommend it. Those looking for a properly immersive and scary experience don’t need to look any further!
Unreal experience, fun, definitely recommended to anyone and hopefully more nights to come. Would definitely go back. From start to finish we were shocked, surprised, and scared beyond what we’d expected. It gave us everything we wanted and more.
This was an all round fantastic experience, good fun, and a very professional set up. As far as horror events go, this is the most well planned and thought out we’ve been to. It delivered on every level.

What if I am running late?
We ask all visitors to arrive at their allocated entry time. Allocated time slots must be strictly observed to ensure that visitor flow and capacities are kept. If you arrive later than your allocated time slot, we will endeavour to adjust your entry time (subject to availability). However, we are unable to permit late entry after the last time slot under any circumstance due to our operating restrictions. Refunds and exchanges will not be given for late arrival where entry has not been possible.
How long is the experience?
The Scare City Experience is one continuous trail with a refreshment zone at the halfway point. Visitors tend to experience Scare City at their own pace, and some will be faster or slower than others. With that in mind, the length of the experience is entirely dependent on you. Experiences average between 45 and 120 minutes.

The Scare City experience is an outdoor event with some indoor elements. The show will go on regardless of the weather so wrap up warm, bring an umbrella and be prepared for an amazing night!

We can’t rule out some extremely close encounters with our scare park inhabitants. Be warned! Visitors are not permitted to make physical contact with the actors – any occurrence may result in removal from the venue.
What about accessibility?
The Scare City Experience is set in an abandoned theme park. Due to the existing topography of the venue, the scare trail consists of undulating surfaces, steps and narrow passageways. Whilst the trail itself is not accessible to wheelchairs or persons with limited mobility including frames and crutches, everyone is welcome to join us in the main Scare Village (at the entrance) which is free to access and will feature screens with content and music, food and drink, merchandise, and accessible toilet facilities. For all future events we will be placing accessibility at the forefront of our event planning, especially when choosing a site. However, due to the current nature of our location, we are unable to make these adjustments for people with reduced mobility.
Do I need to sign a disclaimer?
Yes, this will be issued on arrival and must be completed before entering the scare trail.
