Join in on a quest to gather objects from a host of creepy characters to protect us against The Darkness!
This is an immersive theatrical experience with eerie decorations, lots of jokes and audience participation. You will start in the House and will be led around the park by 'The Ringmaster,' supported by the Lauderdale House team, stopping along the way to watch performances by over 20 professional actors. The walk is roughly 45 minutes and will end back at the House with a song and Halloween goodies for the children.
There are 50 people - adults and children - per time slot. There will be at least 3 members of the Lauderdale House team to steward each walk, but it is still imperative that all children are closely supervised by their parent / carer.
Is it scary?
This obviously depends on your child to a large extent. You will be going around the park in the dark, which can be creepy. Our actors appear as classic Halloween characters. Some of them are good humoured and fun; some of them are a bit spookier... and there's always at least one 'baddie'. We try to find a balance between making it a bit scary at times – it’s Halloween after all – and also funny and fun.
What ages is the show for?
Again, every child is different. On average 5 to 9 year-olds enjoy it the most, but we regularly have little ones who have a ball and less cynical over 9’s really enjoy the fun of it too. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
