What do I need to bring?

Yourself, your friends and an open mind!  You will also some footwear suitable for walking in and a coat in case it rains while we’re on the ghost tour.

What should I wear?

Dress for outdoors as well as indoors.  The first hour of the day may be spent walking around outside and the rest of the day is inside (dependent on the location).  We recommend wearing trainers or other comfortable shoes for walking in and a waterproof coat in case it rains.

How far will we walk?

About a mile.

How can I travel there?

However you wish!  We particularly recommend a broom stick.  If you’re worried about finding the place, we’ve got it covered.  We will send you a map with directions, covering various modes of transport, when you book.

Is there Disabled access

If you have any questions about accessibility please email us at thedarkeninguk@gmail.com

Where do I park?

We will send you a map with directions to the nearest car park, when you book your ticket, if you need one.

What are the meal options?

Meal Options vary between locations. Check the ticket description for more information or contact us for catering enquiries.

What if I have a food allergy?

That’s fine.  Just let us know and we will find a meal option that suits your needs.

Is it real?

No: but it will very much feel like it is!  Your hosts will be trained magicians and performers who will use their skills of trickery, mind reading and suggestion to create an experience that will feel very real, but it’s all just a trick, so you don’t need to worry about accidentally contacting real spirits.

Do I need to participate in things that I don’t want to take part in?

No!  We cater for all wants and needs.  We will provide the opportunity for people to participate in typical ghost-hunting activities but you may choose not to participate in the things that make you feel uncomfortable and we will find something else for you to get involved in at the same time so you don’t feel left out. 

Is it dangerous?

No more dangerous than going to a theme park or watching a horror movie.  There will be health and safety considerations that we will make you aware of, such as trip hazards, and how to move around safely in the dark.  We will also supervise you at all times to ensure you are safe.  There is no danger of contacting any real ghosts.  Although it may not feel like it at the time, we have actually set everything up in a very controlled environment to make it feel real whereas, in fact, it is all just pretend.  There will be some big scares though, so you should not attend if you have a heart condition or are pregnant, or suffer from any ailment that may be exacerbated when you are made to jump.  Please see our terms and conditions for more information about whether you are safe to participate.

Why do I need to sign a waiver?

Some of the parts of the experience will make you jump, so we need to make you aware of what you are letting yourself in for and show us that you are in full agreement to participate.

What if we are late?

Don't be!  The event will start on time and you will miss all the fun!
