Invited: Review by Stephen Stokoe 12 September 2026

If you got down to the farm today, you’re sure of a thrilling ride!

For years I have avoided Psycho Path at Lintz Hall Farm because – well frankly – I am a wuss but I have definitely missed out! Psycho Path was first launched in 2018 by Christiano Crawford and Nigel Holliday and has grown year-on-year into a terrifying behemoth with many thrilling attractions returning and new ones to rattle your bones and bewitch the senses.

The thrills start even before you have got into the main welcoming arena with a dark foreboding tunnel. The whole set up is designed to confuse, befuddle, and bewilder and despite arriving while the sun was still aglow, we were unnerved from the off. We need not have worried too much and I felt rather silly as we eased our way along the walls of the dimly lit entrance way. A lone figure waited and, for want of a better word, loomed.

Once inside, we walked around being taunted, cajoled, and pounced on by fearsome characters both recognisable and bizarre. Wednesday Addams insinuated around the room, Beetlejuice threatened, The Nun lurked suspiciously, but it was Artie the Clown who made me jump and want to run for the safety of the gift shop. I particularly enjoyed the clown twins who seemed to be onmipresent as we walked around the huge site.

All of the performers worked incredibly hard to make the expreience what it is and I have nothing but admiration for each and every one of them for their attitude, physicality, and endurance. Their enthusiasm and character did not drop for the entirety of the five hours we spent there.

For an experience running for so many years, you do hear whispers, get hints and tips, and some warnings before you go. My advice is not to listen to any of them and just to go with it. As with many things – your attitude is as much part of the experience as the the performances of the many hard-working scare actors who greet you. What you take into it will greatly enhance the efforts of those eager to thrill, chill, and entertain.

I have to say that despite spending more than five hours at Psycho Path, we did not have time to do everything. We were keen to take in as much of the entertainment as we could and took our seats for the opening show and returned for the end of show show fantastically bookending our visit with spectacular and fantastically choreographed musical numbers from the cast of freaks. I particularly enjoyed ‘Toxic’ which saw all the performers on the stage area thoroughly enjoying themselves. Other entertainment included magic shows, aerial performers, and a dazzling display of special effects and pyrotechnics which kept the main hall bouncing throughout the evening.

I do not want to spend too much time talking about the mazes and thrills because they have to be experience first hand but The Darkness was an absolute mind $#%!. Your sense of sight is entirely taken from you as you make your way through a dizzying and seemingly endless journey into the black!

The other thrills I was brave enough to attempt were The Doll House, iScream, Isolation, and Psycho Town. There were many other experiences that time, sadly, did not allow for. I will have to return and experience the thrills and spills of Psycho Path again. Note for visitors, if you do want to experience ‘Crawl Space’ then you need to book your visit and it is prudent to get in the queue early-on as the available slots fill up very quickly indeed!

Do not miss the end of night show in the Neurotica Hospital!

Psycho Path has grown over the years and with so much to entertain on an autumn evening, I have no doubt whatsoever it will continue to build on what is already a fantastic and thrilling evening out. That said, it is not for the faint-hearted or for those of a nervous disposition. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
