Everything You Need To Know About Psycho Path Fright Night
When and Where
Psycho Path will run from 11th October to 31st October at Lintz Hall Farm, Burnopfield, County Durham. Situated just a short drive from Newcastle, the farm transforms into a haunting wonderland for the Halloween season, offering an array of terrifying attractions designed to keep your heart racing all night long.
The Main Attractions
Psycho Path has made a name for itself by delivering immersive and interactive horror experiences. This year, they’re going even further with brand new features and expansions to their Fearground. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
The Psycho Path Experience
The heart of the Psycho Path experience is a terrifying journey through a dark and eerie woodland. Participants are loaded into blacked-out vans for a jarring ride through the woods, where they encounter all manner of horrors, from abandoned shipping containers and burning barrels to the malevolent inhabitants lurking in the shadows. This immersive environment, coupled with spine-tingling special effects, makes the Psycho Path a nerve-wracking adventure for anyone who dares to enter.
The Fearground
New for 2023, the Fearground is set to push visitors’ limits with adrenaline-pumping attractions designed to shock and terrify. It includes iScream, a terrifying clown maze where visitors must navigate through a twisted freak show filled with menacing clowns and chaotic characters. It’s not for the faint hearted, as every twist and turn is designed to deliver maximum fear.
But that’s not all. The Fearground also introduces the Anarchy Arcade, an area packed with nightly entertainment, including aerial artists, magicians, fire breathers, and more. Visitors can also enjoy traditional fairground rides, alongside a selection of street food and drinks vendors, making it the perfect space to recover and regroup between scares.
What Makes Psycho Path Special?
Psycho Path isn’t just about scaring people, it’s about full immersion. The event transports you into a world of horror, where every moment feels like a scene from your worst nightmare. Whether you’re wandering through the foggy woods, dodging chainsaw wielding maniacs, or trying to outsmart killer clowns, you’ll be surrounded by an atmosphere of pure terror.
The attention to detail in the set design, the commitment of the live actors, and the use of special effects all contribute to creating an environment that feels all too real. It’s no surprise that Psycho Path has become a must attend event for horror fans across the North East.
Family Friendly Fun with Family Frightfest
While Psycho Path is designed to terrify even the bravest adults, the team hasn’t forgotten about younger thrill seekers. For families looking for a more lighthearted Halloween experience, Family Frightfest offers a separate, kid friendly attraction that’s suitable for all ages.
Partnering with Metro Radio and Gateshead College, Family Frightfest includes a range of activities to keep children entertained without the nightmares. Attractions include pumpkin carving, spooky storytelling, stage shows, and a fun scare maze. Children can win prizes while enjoying a day filled with Halloween magic that is far less intense than the main Psycho Path experience.
Family Frightfest runs on selected dates – 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th, and 31st October – from 11am to 4:30pm. Tickets are priced at £7 for children and £10 for adults, with a family pass (2 adults, 2 children) available for £29.
Ticket Information and Pricing
Given the popularity of Psycho Path, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so it’s highly recommended that you book in advance. Tickets for the main Psycho Path Fright Night experience start at £25 per person. If you’re planning to attend with teenagers between the ages of 13 and 16, please note that they must be accompanied by an adult.
