 Q. Is the ride suitable for my x year old??  

A. We don’t give exact age guidance, as it does depend on the child, you know him or her best! Probably from about 8-9 upwards, but some kids love it and some adults are terrified. Best to read our descriptions of the event and make your own decision. Call us if you have any specific questions. 

Q. Do babies go free of charge? 

A: Scareshow is not suitable for babies or younger children, please don't bring them.

Q: Why are there no FUN rides this year?

A: Whilst there are no formal Scareshow fun rides for small children, there will be fun Halloween activities incorporated into the usual farm activity timetable, from 24-28 October (half-term week). We recommend you come to the farm then, you don’t have to book.

Q: Why isn’t the Haunted Hay Ride in the forest this year?

A: We wanted to do something different! It’ll still be very scary on the trailer, it allows us to do a bit more theatrical stuff and tell more of a story.

Q. Do I have to accompany my children? 

A: There must be someone 18 or over in any group WITH A TICKET. Under 18s without adequate supervision will be refused entry.

Q. What if I'm late? 

A. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your ride time. If you're late you will miss the Haunted Hay Ride but you'll still be able to go on the other attractions.

Q: Will I get scared?

A: Yes, that's kind of the point. Should you really want to leave, just tell a member of staff.

Q: When can I go to the Nightmare Circus and Creepy Cottage?

 A: The Creepy Cottage and Nightmare Circus will be open from 8.30pm on Preview nights and 6.30pm on Standard and Premium nights. You can go any time between then and the end of Scareshow around 10.45pm, before or after your ride.

Q: What's the difference between Preview, Standard and Premium nights?

A: There isn't any difference in what's on offer, you get exactly the same ride. To try and space people out a little and give people the chance to come and see the show at a reduced price, we have the Preview weekend. Premium is so-called because they are the most popular dates.

Q. Can I book a group visit? 

A. You can, but please book early. There is a separate eating area that you can have for an extra charge. Sorry, but due to the high demand for this event there are no group discounts. For groups bigger than 32, you’ll have separate Haunted Hay Rides. Group queries to  This email address is being protected from spambots.

Q. Can I smoke?  

A. Yes, but only in designated areas. Please don’t smoke in the forest or near the Creepy Cottage barn, for obvious reasons.  

Q. How long does Scareshow last?  

A. The Haunted Hay Ride lasts around 30-35 minutes or so. Allow about 15-20 minutes for the Creepy Cottage and Nightmare Circus, maybe more if it’s busy. You can also buy a burger, drinks or snacks.

Q. What should we wear? 

A. No formal dress code! Dress up if you like, that’s always fun. Something sensible on your feet and warm on your body would help.
