We were very kindly gifted tickets and fast track for our night, however we retain editorial control of what the review says. Our Slasher Review Just outside of Melton Mowbray, you will find Twinlakes Family Theme Park, but come October it is home to one of the best scare events in the UK, Xtreme Scream Park and on the 25th of October we headed over to experience the 2026 offering. While there is no new scare attraction this year, all of the mazes have had changes and tweak

Our Slasher Post Hallowscream near York had a disappointing 2026 event despite its impressive set designs and well-organised layout. The mazes look fantastic, particularly Necropolis, but poor group batching meant constant bumping into other visitors, while the scares felt weak and relied too heavily on loud noises rather than effective actor interactions. The new paid attraction, Corntagion, offered a different, story-driven experience with some humour, but large groups, lim

We were given two free tickets to experience the event, we retain editorial control on what our review says! Our Slasher Review Scream Factory returned for another year of scares, and despite Storm Boelo threatening to disrupt events across the UK, we were pleased to see it go ahead. The event has had a few improvements to its hub area, including a new, purpose-built merchandise kiosk that looks much better and makes the food counter area feel less cramped. The walkthrough de

This review was completed by our guest reviewer Tabitha Kell on behalf of Parks,Scares and Glitter , which we are very appreciative of their time to do so. Tabitha did state that they were unsure of the attraction mazes official names so if some are incorrect they apologize in advance. After a long drive up to Redcar battling the rain and winds, I finally made my way over to Scream Factory’s Valentine 18+ event on Friday 13th February 2026. Following fellow guests (and extrem

But upon a recent visit to the York Dungeon, it made me realise again the problem these attractions have. The issue becomes noticeable when you've visited a couple of them an

Our Slasher Review. Xtreme Scream Park located at Twinlakes Park on the outskirts of Melton Mowbray was our destination on Saturday the 18th of October 2025. It was a sell out night and luckily we had purchased fast track for our evening which in the end proved very beneficial and we would highly recommend doing the same if you want to fit in all the action and atmosphere. The scream park features 7 scare attractions. Those being Circus vs Circursed, The Witches of Hard Luck
