We were invited to the 2025 press night where a host of celebrity guests and other VIPs hit the 'black carpet' and braved the terrifying haunts.

The scale of the event is once again unrivalled, with the 12 attractions spread across a huge site. There's an impressively themed new covered area and multiple upgraded spaces across the park. The largest bars are the Reaper Bar, Saloon Bar and The Crooked Hag. There's also a selection of thrill rides including StratosFear, Sling Shot and the Waltzer. Other optional extras are Axe Throwing and Shock Chairs.

Glitch is the new attraction for 2025, alongside the 9 returning haunts, the infamous Haunted Hayride, spectacular CarnEvil Cabaret show, and countless roaming scare actors. There is so much to see and do that it's almost impossible to experience everything in one visit.

The atmosphere at the press night was as electric as ever despite the British weather, with DJs, makeup artists, food and drink all laid on.

Once again the award-winning street theatre and multiple live music stages bring the whole event to life, so that the excitement isn't restricted to the haunts.

Glitch (NEW)

Deep inside an abandoned barn, a government experiment spiralled out of control. A glitch in time twisted reality itself… and now C.A.D is waiting. Ready to hack your thoughts. Ready to control your senses. Ready to delete who you are. Step inside. But be warned, some code can never be reversed.

Replacing previous attraction The Cellar: Imprisoned, the previously dark, claustrophobic and damp passageways have been replaced by a new scare maze with a science and technology theme, featuring gruesome labs and experiments gone wrong.

Returning for 2025

• Purgatory - with just an old lantern to guide you, and possessed nuns at every turn.
• The Carving - where an inviting dinner party morphs into a nightmarish ritual.
• Doom Town - a 1980s English town overrun with zombies.
• Electrick Circus - a 'shocking' twist on the classic clown maze.
• Wastelands Penitentiary - the prisoners are running wilder than ever.
• The Chop Shop - a relentless gauntlet of chainsaw wielding maniacs.
• Haunted Hayride: Route 666 - a signature Tulleys attraction.
• The Village: Coven of 13 - the vengeful witches are back.
• Hell-ements - this effective hooded maze returns.
• The Creepy Cottage - a classic haunted house that first opened in 1998.
