PSYCHO
PATH BRINGS HALLOWEEN HORROR BACK TO THE NORTH EAST…
MURDEROUS
madmen, killer clowns and chainsaw-wielding characters are all lined-up for the
return of the North East’s scariest event in October, which promises to send
the fear factor into orbit.
The
interactive scare experience, Psycho Path, will once again take over Lintz Hall
Farm, at Burnopfield, from 11 to 31 October, with the brand new Fearground, set
to be even bigger and better than last year’s sold out event.
And
last week (25 July) organisers got the green light from Durham County Council
chiefs with a permanent license for the site, which means that they can unveil
their plans for the first time.
Organisers
700 Acres Ltd have revealed that not only will the event be more frightening
than before, but visitors will also “enjoy” a whole host of new attractions
within the Fearground, set to make their blood pressure rise.
This
includes iScream, a clown maze and scary freak show, where visitors will need
to survive the horrors and the crazy characters.
Also
new for this year is Anarchy Arcade, which will offer a range of entertainment
every night including aerial artists, magicians, fire breathers along with
fairground rides and a range of street food and drink vendors.
Guests
will then take to the Psycho Path trail, first bundled into blacked out vans
for a bumpy ride across the site to a woodland area, where they will be met
with abandoned shipping containers, burning barrels and a whole host of
menacing inhabitants.
And
this year the original route is extended, with a track through an additional
attraction, Psycho City, which is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where
Psycho Path’s inhabitants have taken over.
Nigel
Holliday of 700 Acres Ltd which organised last year’s Psycho Path and now
Fearground, believes that this year’s event is going to be spectacular.
“We
had such a fantastic reaction to Psycho Path last year, which gave us the
opportunity to completely run with the concept and expand on it even more for
this October’s event,” said Nigel.
“We
have amazing creative teams working on the builds and the concepts to make sure
that the site fulfils – and even exceeds – expectations, with plenty to see and
do so people can make a whole evening of their visit.
“We
can’t wait to unveil the new site and I think people are really going to love
the new attractions we have created for this year.”
Along
with the evening trail, Psycho Path has partnered with Metro Radio and
Gateshead College to host the Family Frightfest, a separate attraction
including pumpkin carving, spooky stories, stage shows, a fun scare maze and
prizes, suitable for children of all ages.
The
Family Frightfest takes place on 19, 20, 26, 27 and 31 October between 11am and
4:30pm and tickets are priced at £7 for children, £10 for adults and a family
pass for two children and two adults is also available, costing £29.
Tickets
for Psycho Path start at £25 and those aged 13 to 16 must be accompanied by an
adult.
