Britain's What's On Event Guide
Screamfest - terrifying Staffordshire fright nights only for the brave
Alien invasions, psychotic circus acts, zombies, demons and a blood thirsty landlord in search of revenge are among the frightening line up for this year’s Screamfest at the National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, near Burton.
The immersive gore filled attraction, which will run for 16 nights during October, includes more live actors than ever before, two new for 2023 scares taking it to a total of 7 onsite attractions, a new for 2023 Mega ‘Death’ Slide – the UK’s longest Mega Slide which has been enhanced with lights, music and effects for a terrifying twist, as well as a new for 2023 VIP area for those looking for an extra special night out.
New for 2023 AREA 52 will see visitors battle 5 acres of outdoor interactive scare in a first for the farm with its new terrifying tractor trailer ride. Set in a deserted containment area you will be armed with a mega blaster as you join other super-agents in eradicating the threat and saving the farm from a deadly alien invasion.
The second new attraction, which will take the scares to a blood curdling seven for this year, is Psycho Circus. A haunting live show of death-defying gore, witness the trapped souls perform in the hope of redemption, just don’t find yourself sucked in to their nightmare!
Five fan favourites will also return to complete the line up including nightmare inducing Insomnia, crazed clown maze Freakout on Tour, Hillbilly Joes Zombie Zoo and gore infested Creed Farm.
Back by popular demand Love Hurts will also make an unexpected comeback as Professor Heart refuses to leave the sickest speed dating night in town and returns to the farm for vengeance.
There will also be live music, extreme fright acts, fairground rides, street food stalls and a licensed bar, with new for 2023 fire breathers and appearances from Flexus Dance Troupe with their haunting routine ‘Darkness of the Pearl’!
