Award-winning scare attraction set in an abandoned theme park
Beyond the rusted gates of Camelot, something is waiting.
Hidden deep inside the remains of the infamous abandoned theme park, Scare City Experience returns for 2026 with its most intense event yet. What was once a kingdom of rides and laughter has become a sprawling nightmare of darkness, fear and chaos. This is not a haunted house.
This is a relentless journey through towering outdoor sets, twisted pathways and fully immersive scare zones where live actors stalk every inch of the trail. From decaying attractions and claustrophobic corridors to fog-filled forests and abandoned structures, every step drags you deeper into the unknown.
Built across one continuous trail inside the ruins of Camelot Theme Park, Scare City has become one of the UK’s most talked-about horror attractions, praised for its cinematic set design, brutal atmosphere and non-stop scares.
LOCATED AT THE ABANDONED CAMELOT THEME PARK, CHORLEY, UK
