Spooky World
Updated: 8 September 2026
Spooky World celebrates 20 years of the Halloween heebie-jeebies this October. The long-standing event comes in three strengths of spookiness. There’s Fun by Day which is all smiling pumpkins and friendly ghosts for small children. Then, there’s Spooky at Night for age ten and over which is basically a diluted version of the main event: Scary at Night.
Scary at Night comprises seven different scare attractions with a narrative behind each one – Carnevil Inc. is new for 2026. Clowns are nothing new when it comes to Halloween horror but this funfair brings toxic sludge and experimentation-gone-wrong to the mix.
From being trapped in a slaughterhouse to wandering through the walls of a haunted house whose walls whisper tales of the evil they’ve witnessed, Scary at Night mixes set pieces and special effects with live action and drama from the ghostly actors.
It’s not for the faint-hearted. But it is fun watching your faint-hearted friends scream.
When you want a break from being terrified, casual food like burgers and pancakes are served and there’s a fully-licensed bar.
