FearFest-Evil Halloween Horror Event at the NDAC this October
Saturday, June 24th, 2017
FearFest-Evil, the ultimate Halloween Horror event, returns to Chepstow this October and we’re ramping up the EVIL!!
FearFest-Evil is a live horror event running for selected nights in October, from Friday the 13th and including Halloween.
The event includes the Trilogy of Horrors spread over a disused limestone quarry, historic railway line and surrounding haunted woodland. Each area has multiple scare zones with monsters, night creatures and lots of terrifying surprises!
We also have a live Freak Show, ‘The CarnEvil of the Bizarre‘, featuring acts from the infamous Circus of Horrors (as seen on Britain’s Got Talent).
For the adrenalin junkies we have the Hangman’s Swing – a terrifying attraction 245 feet in the air or the 700m long Death Slide over the cold waters of our 80m deep quarry.
There will also be audience participation shows from Psychic Mediums passing on messages from loved ones that have passed over.
BBQ’s, hog roast and undead cocktails are available on-site from the View Cafe Bar as well as accommodation options in our Wooden Wigwam Cabins.
