No Extreme Scares — Ever
The Family Experience is entirely separate from the adult trail. Different actors, different route, different atmosphere.
Sessions Before 7pm
Family sessions run in the early evening — so the kids get a magical Halloween experience and you're still home at a reasonable hour.
A Genuinely Magical Setting
850 acres of country park, a Gothic castle and ancient woodland — there is no better place in South Wales to spend Halloween.
Costumes Welcome
Come dressed up — witches, vampires, skeletons. Plenty of photo opportunities along the trail.
Trick-or-Treat Along the Way
Stations are dotted along the trail — collect treats as you go and crack the curse of the estate.
Food & Rides at the Village
Halfway through, stop at our Scare Village for street food, drinks, fairground rides and games.
Good to know
Children Must Be With an Adult
All under-15s must be accompanied by an adult throughout. Under-5s are free and welcome, though some sections may be a little spooky for very young children.
Before 7pm — Plan Ahead
All family sessions are before 7pm. For older teens and adults wanting extreme scares, see our Scream Time sessions after 7:30pm.
Outdoor Terrain
The trail covers outdoor paths in October. Wear sensible shoes — no heels. Bring layers and rain jackets just in case.
Accessibility
Some sections may be challenging for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Contact us in advance if you have specific access needs.
Our promise: No blackout zones, no extreme scare actors, no jump scares designed to terrify. Fun, atmospheric Halloween entertainment — the kind that gives kids a brilliant story to tell at school the next day, not nightmares. For the intense adult experience, that's our Scream Time — after 7:30pm, strictly 15+.
Create a Halloween memory your family won't forget.
