Goostrey Graveyards Scare Park 2025 Review

Goostrey Graveyards Scare Park Review ()

INTRODUCTION

A brand new event has made its way to Cheshire, known as Goostrey Graveyards Scare Park. Launching with five mazes in its first year, the park also features a central hub with food, drink, and roaming characters.

The event runs on selected nights from October 10th through to Halloween night itself. Most nights are suitable for families, with selected Sundays designated as 18+ nights to turn up the terror for adults only.

Admission is open from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM each night, giving guests plenty of time to get through all the mazes. Since they run one group at a time, some queuing will be expected. Tickets cost £25 per person.

As a first-year event, they have been very ambitious with five brand new mazes. Below you can find our thoughts from our visit…

THE OVERALL EVENT…

WOO – Value for money | WOO – Vareity | BOO – Side Shows

Goostrey Graveyards Scare Park was on our radar as a brand-new event which shocked us by opening five mazes in its opening year. This means variety is a strong feature for them, as each maze brings a completely different take and concept to life. They have The Hunt, which requires you to run and dodge, Shadowbound, which uses escape room techniques, Restless Waters, which utilizes a path by the pond, and Toybox of Terror, which is in an inflatable maze. We love how they have brought different ideas to the table and executed them on a limited budget.

The event ground itself is limited on extra entertainment and side shows, so outside the mazes, there are no games or shows to see. We hope this is something they expand on in future years. However, for £25 to get five mazes with unlimited run-throughs, that works out to less than £5 per maze, and for what you are getting in a small group, this level of value is really hard to find across events in the UK.

Goostrey Graveyards was a really fun night out, and for an adults-only night, it certainly created plenty of terror outside of a family-friendly setting. While there are clear budget restrictions and high ambition for having five mazes, each maze is different from the next, and they’ve done a very good job for an opening year. They are all simple but effective. Each maze had a small team, but the actors all pulled their weight and provided the scares and energy we love to see. The event grounds are simple, but it’s a great starting point with a creepy entrance and plenty of space for expansion, which we will be keeping a close eye on next year.

A huge thank you to the team for allowing us to visit this Halloween. They did provide us with complimentary tickets and filming permission to share a little more inside the event and attractions. We highly recommend making a visit if you are local to support this team, as they are clearly passionate and have many great ideas that you won’t see anywhere else.

Tickets are best bought directly, and let us know your thoughts if you manage to sneak a visit in this Halloween!
