For the 2023 season, there is a brand new maze called The Witches of Hard Luck Wood as well as an upgrade for the Unfair Funfair with a brand new Warehouse of Weird Wonders.

Alton Towers Scarefest:<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Entertainment also returning for the season includes CBeebies Land Monster Party, Freaky Fun Zone & Alton Ancestors.\u00a0 <\/span>Over at Altonville Mine Tours, this maze is returning but under a new take with Tinys Revenge.

This Howl\u2019o\u2019Ween sees the return of the scare zone Vile Villagers! Unfortunately, Creepy Caves has retired but seems to be replaced by Enchanted Hollow which is an underground trick-or-treat style of attraction which is an upcharge of \u00a38 for adults & \u00a310 for children. Alongside the scare attractions are spooky shows for all the family to enjoy! This event will be operating between the 7th of October to the 30th!\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Screamfest Burton:<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

2023 sees Screamfest Burton expand their attractions by adding an additional 2 to the lineup. Alongside the new attractions, the incredible 5 scare mazes return again. The likes of Hillbilly Joes Zombie Zoo which is a firm stand-out for me. This event will run from 6\/10\/23 to 31\/10\/23. Those two new attractions include Area 51 which is an alien shooting tractor experience which is an up charge to your entry tickets. The second new attraction is known as Pyscho Circus with little details shared yet!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Walsall Scare Maze:<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

A little scare event within Walsall but it\u2019s not one to miss. This year has seen an overall change as well as new additions. The scarehouse itself is returning but with brand new scenes and scares. Alongside this is a brand new attraction called Enola which is a brave it alone style attraction that\u2019s set around a mind altering drug infusion. This event will run from the 7th of October to the 4th of November on selected dates. Check out our thoughts from last years event HERE<\/strong><\/a>. \"\"<\/p>\n

Dr Frights Halloween Nights:<\/a><\/h3>\n

Open daily from the 13th of October to the 31st. \u00a0This is one of the scariest events we\u2019ve ever done check out last years blog for our full thoughts HERE<\/strong><\/a>. \"\"<\/p>\n
