​

​

 WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF THE GROUPS GOING THROUGH? 

​

Upon entry to the tour, those that have purchased Extreme Tour tickets will be batched into groups of 10.

Unfortunately we are unable to send people through in larger groups. If you wish to go through the tour on your own or in a smaller group, we would recommend that you purchase Isolation Tour Tickets.

​

​

 ARE REFUNDS AVAILABLE OR CAN I TRANSFER MY TICKET TO A DIFFERENT DATE/TIME? 

​

As stated in our terms and conditions when purchasing your tickets – all tickets are non refundable and non transferable so please ensure you are able to attend on the specific date/time booked. 

​

​

 FROM WHAT AGE CAN YOU ENTER THE SCREAM FACTORY EXTREME TOUR EVENT? 

​

Our recommendation is that Scream Factory is suitable for ages 14+ however this is advisory and down to parental desecration. Anyone under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied at all times (even throughout the tour) by a responsible paying adult. Failure to do so could result in you being refused admission or being ejected from the event without a refund. 

​

​

 HOW LONG DOES THE EXTREME TOUR LAST? 

​

It Is difficult to give an exact time. Based on previous years we estimate that the tour lasts approximately 45 minutes- 1 hour. 

We estimate that the Children's Twilight Tour lasts approx 25-30 minutes. There will also be a live show in addition to the Twilight Tour. 

​

 

 WHAT IS THE ISOLATION TOUR? 

​

After listening to feedback from previous years we introduced our Isolated Tour which allows you to pick your group size.  If you’re feeling brave enough you’ll be able to take a private walk around Scream Factory! Or you can go as a couple or six etc. Unlike the Extreme Tour being put in groups of 10 .

​

​

​

 CAN I BUY TICKETS ON THE DOOR?

​

A very limited number of tickets are available on the door each evening for each time slot at Scream Factory’s Extreme Tour. There's NO GUARANTEE of a ticket on the night. Please note these are on a first come first served basis and priority accessing the event is given to our pre-paid ticket holders! We open at 6.30pm for selected nights in October and you must be in the queue before 9pm to guarantee entry if paying on the door.

​

​

 WILL I GET SCARED? 

​

 

The Extreme Tour is a themed event which is designed to frighten and heighten your senses which should terrify most people. Having said that every person’s scare level is different. We guarantee if you don’t find it scary then you’ll have a great time laughing at those that do! If you’re taking part in the Twilight Tour, don’t worry – there’s nothing scary there!

 WILL I GET MUDDY AND WET? 

​

There is a good chance of both! The Scream Factory Event will operate in all weather conditions and the scare zones are under cover but are located predominantly outside. In heavy inclement weather the site may get wet and muddy. You will be expected to make your way through open woodland so be prepared for uneven, wet, slippery and muddy surfaces, we advise suitable weather proof footwear and warm clothing to be worn. As some parts of the attraction may use small amounts of water you may get splashed with clean water.

Only you know the answer! It is advised those with medical conditions including: a nervous disposition, heart disorder, pregnant, suffer from claustrophobia, have a photosensitive form of epilepsy, suffer from a back disorder, diabetes, arthritis or suffer from asthma, should not enter The Extreme or Isolated Tour.
All tickets are non refundable. Please ensure you or any member of your party are fit to enter the Scare Zone before you purchase any tickets.

​

 CAN I TAKE PHOTOS OR FILM? 

Not in the scare zones!

The event is enhanced by the fear of facing the unknown, as you read this you do not know what to expect and that is the way we want to keep it for every person embarking on the extreme tour. Along with mobile telephones, all other recording devices are to be switched off whilst inside the scare zones. A recording obtained inside the scare zones may infringe on our intellectual property and we will ask you to destroy it.
Photos and filming are allowed in our check in area and in the end village where you will also find our photo booth for a complimentary photo.

​

 CAN I TOUCH THE EXHIBITS/ACTORCS? 

​

No!
We have a rule, if you don’t touch anything, nothing will touch you. If you do deliberately touch something, a zombie will chop you up and eat the good bits, any remains will be gathered up chucked into a black bag and left in guest services for collection for 24hrs. Then you will be asked to leave (and no you won’t get a refund).

​

 

 IS THERE FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE ON SITE? 

​

Yes!
