ENTRY AND SECURITY
FEAR Scream Park has an onsite security team. All bags will be searched before entry into the event, and random spot checks will be in operation throughout the night.
CAN I DRESS UP AT THE EVENT?
While fancy dress is encouraged at the FEAR, full or half-face masks, offensive costumes, or costume props will not be allowed into the event. In order to enter the attractions, all hoods must be removed for the safety of the actors.
WILL I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL THE ATTRACTIONS?
Plan your time with us wisely. We have screens advising of queue line times around the event site, please monitor these to help you move around the mazes quickly. We have street theatre, food stalls, bars, and our spectacular fire show to enjoy, so make the most of your night. Enjoy a drink, but don’t waste time at the bar! You are here to be scared; you can enjoy a sit down and a chat with your mates at the pub afterwards. Like any theme park, if you want to ensure quick access to the attractions, we advise you to purchase a fast track ticket.
ARE THE ATTRACTIONS SCARY?
Yes! The attractions are designed to scare you. It’s why we have been twice awarded as the UK’s Best Scream Park.
WHAT SPECIAL EFFECTS DO YOU USE?
The attractions all feature the use of flashing lights, strobe lighting, smoke effects, smells, and loud sounds. You may also experience elements of complete darkness and tight spaces within the attractions. You can read more on our accessibility page.
IF I GET SCARED, CAN I GET OUT?
Once you enter any of the attractions, you are committed to following through to the end. It is only in extreme circumstances that you will be taken out early. However, if you are a scaredy cat, you can purchase a scaredy cat light on arrival. This will mean the monsters will keep their distance from you if they see the light. Some actors, however, may not have full visibility of you as you approach them if they are hidden, so these lights are not 100% effective.
PROHIBITED ITEMS INSIDE THE ATTRACTIONS.
Flashlights or mobile phones, used as torches, or deemed filming. or using photography within the mazes will be removed and returned at the end. Failure to adhere to these rules will spoil the experience for everyone involved and could result in your removal from the event site.
DO CARERS GO FREE?
For full details, please visit our accessibility page, which includes details about tickets for carers. You can find this page HERE.
ARE YOU WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY?
The site is wheelchair accessible, but may not be friendly due to its gravel. The scare attractions are NOT wheelchair accessible. The scare mazes and attractions at FEAR Scream Park may be physically demanding and, due to the nature of the event, unsuitable for visitors with additional needs. For this reason, we reserve the right to refuse admission to any attraction should we feel there may be a danger to an individual or others during either a normal operation or in the event of emergency procedures. We hope that visitors accept any decision made with regard to preserving the safety of all of our guests. Please note that the provision of any discounts or additional access facilities is provided at the discretion of FEAR Scream Park.

We reserve the right to refuse entry to the event or remove anyone from a scare maze and/or event if we deem them at risk of endangering themselves or others.
Guests disrupting the experience, touching the scenery, or demonstrating inappropriate behaviour, may be escorted from the event area.
IS THERE AN ATM AT THE PARK / DO YOU ACCEPT CASH?
No. The site is cashless, and only card payments are accepted.
WILL I GET WET?
Due to the nature of the event being outside, it is advised to bring suitable clothing and footwear. There are several undercover areas; however, some of the attractions have outdoor sections that are open to the elements. The ground can get very wet, so leave those box-fresh trainers at home. The Core is water based and there is a high chance of getting wet, although waders are provided.
I HAVE AN R.I.P PASS, CAN I ARRIVE AFTER 6.30PM?
Yes! We advise you to arrive as early as possible to make the most of the event and your ticket, which is why the only intake time shown is 6.30pm, but you can arrive after this time.

LOCK N LOAD
1. What is Lock N Load?
Lock N Load is an interactive, live-action shooting experience where you take up arms to defend a rebel base. Using realistic weapons with tracer ammunition, you must hold the line and fight for survival in this high-intensity battle.
The experience also features a live stunt-show element, putting you right in the middle of the action.
Can you survive the onslaught?
2. Is there anything else to pay once I’ve booked?
No. Once you’ve paid for your Lock N Load ticket, everything you need to take part in the experience is included. There are no ammunition upgrades or other upsells during the attraction.
3. How long does the experience last?
The main experience lasts approximately 10 minutes and is packed with adrenaline-fuelled action. Be prepared for intense combat scenarios, flashing lights, loud sound effects, special effects and fast-paced action.
4. How important is arriving on time?
Very important! You must arrive at your allocated time slot so that you can be briefed, equipped and ready for battle.
If you arrive late, you risk missing your session and we may not be able to accommodate you in another one. We cannot offer refunds or reschedules for late arrivals.
5. What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear – you’re entering a combat zone!
Lock N Load is an outdoor attraction, so please dress appropriately for the weather. You will also be required to crawl through a tunnel to experience the fully immersive stunt-show section, so we recommend wearing clothing that you are comfortable moving around in.
6. Is it suitable for everyone?
Lock N Load is a high-intensity experience featuring loud noises, flashing and strobe lighting, smoke, special effects, physical movement and live stunt-show elements.
Participants must be aged 16 or over.
As part of the full experience, guests will be required to crawl through a tunnel to enter one section of the stunt show.
If you are unable or do not wish to crawl through the tunnel, you can still observe this section of the show, but you will not experience the fully immersive version of this part of the attraction.
7. Is the ammunition real?
No. The weapons use realistic tracer effects to create the visual appearance of firing, but there are no actual projectiles.
The system is designed to create an immersive battle experience without firing conventional ammunition.
8. Can I play with my friends?
Yes! We will keep groups together wherever possible. If you’re visiting with friends or family, please arrive together and on time to give us the best opportunity to place you in the same session.
9. Does the experience include a stunt show?
Yes. Lock N Load combines interactive gameplay with a live stunt-show element.
To experience this section in its fully immersive form, you will be required to crawl through a tunnel before entering the stunt-show area.
If you’re unable to crawl through the tunnel, don’t worry – you’ll still be able to observe the show, although you won’t experience this section in the same fully immersive way.
10. Is this a scare attraction?
Lock N Load isn’t a traditional scare attraction. It’s an interactive combat experience combined with live-action and stunt-show elements.
However, the environment is deliberately dark, intense and action-packed. Expect loud noises, explosions, smoke, flashing and strobe lighting, special effects and realistic combat-style action.
11. Can I get a refund if I change my mind or miss my time slot?
No. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Please make sure you’re comfortable with the nature of the experience, including the loud noises, lighting effects, physical elements and stunt-show content, before booking.
