Once Upon A Nightmare: Twisted Tales Unveiled

A Spine-Chilling Halloween Experience at Lotherton for Brave Souls Aged 8 to 15

This Halloween, Lotherton invites all thrill-seekers to step into the pages of twisted fairy tales where happily ever afters don’t exist.

Once Upon a Nightmare is an immersive scare event that transforms the serene grounds and gardens of Lotherton into a haunting world where your favourite fairy tale characters live out their darkest versions of reality.

Imagine walking through the eerie mist that settles over the gardens as night falls. The path ahead is shrouded in mystery, with only the faint glow of lanterns to guide you. Around every corner, familiar faces emerge—but these aren’t the cheerful, storybook characters you remember. Snow White wanders the woods, her once fair visage now shadowed by a curse. The Evil Queen lurks nearby, her sinister smile hinting at the secrets she guards. Little Red Riding Hood is no longer the innocent girl of the woods; her encounters have left her wary, and the Wolf is always close behind, ready to pounce.

Each encounter is a story come to life, but with a twist that will leave you gripping your friends’ hands a little tighter. This isn’t just a walk in the park; it’s an adventure through a nightmare where fairy tales and horror collide.

But don’t worry, Once Upon a Nightmare is designed with young adventurers in mind. The scares are spooky and spine-tingling, yet age-appropriate. It’s the perfect way to experience the thrill of Halloween while exploring a world of fantasy turned upside down.

Whether you’re a fan of classic fairy tales or just love a good scare, Once Upon a Nightmare at Lotherton is an unforgettable experience. So, gather your courage, grab your friends, and prepare to step into a world where the stories you thought you knew are filled with unexpected twists and turns.
