Frightmare is a multi-attraction Halloween event held at Over Farm every October. Our activities push the boundaries of human emotion, triggering fear, fun and everything in between, You can be scared, you can laugh, it’s your experience.

The rain will be the least of your worries at Frightmare!

Most of our attractions, the food court and entertainment are under cover – so there is no need to worry about the weather. However, we do recommend dressing in warm, waterproof clothing with appropriate footwear.

Visitors with the following documentation are entitled to one free carer ticket mirroring the full price purchased ticket. Documentation must be presented with a valid Photo I.D.

• Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance Award Letter (dated within the last six months)
• Personal Independence Payment Letter (Dated within the last six months)
• Current, valid blue badge. A headed letter from a GP or Consultant (Dated within the last six months) confirming the need for a full-time carer.
• A headed letter from a GP or consultant (dated within the last six months) confirming the need for a full-time carer.

To enter the Frightmare arena, you must have a paid ticket. If you do not wish to experience our attractions but still wish to visit, a £5 admission fee will be payable on the door. This admission fee is not available for purchase online.

Please be aware that anyone 15 and under must be accompanied through the attractions by a full priced paying adult (18+ years old).

Please observe signage around the arena on the night that you attend. As a rough guide, attractions will be set to close two hours after the final ticket time slot. For example, if the final arrival time is 21:00, attractions will close at 23:00.

Frightmare is a 12A rated event, however all children aged 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.*

We recommend that the evening attractions are suitable for ages 12 and over. However a lot of this depends on the child/children. The attractions can be quite intense in places and only you can judge whether your child/children will be able to cope. We certainly don’t recommend it for very young children or those who are easily scared. Babes in arms are not allowed.

* Adults are considered 18+ years of age.

We are currently working with Accessible Gloucestershire to create at least one wheelchair friendly attraction. Please check back in July for an update.

Due to the nature of the attractions, we strongly recommend that pregnant woman or people with heart conditions should refrain from experiencing them.

As the event is held in October, the weather can be quite cold and unsettled. We would advise that you wear appropriate warm clothing. Certain elements of the event will may take place on unpaved or muddy paths, therefore we strongly recommend you wear sturdy shoes or boots.

Please arrive at Frightmare at the time allocated on your ticket, this is your arrival time. Late arrival may result in refusal of entry. Once you are in the event, you are free to complete any of the seven attractions in any order. Refunds will not be given should you fail to complete any of the attractions.

For closing times, please observe signage around the arena on the night that you attend. As a rough guide, attractions will be set to close two hours after the final ticket time slot. For example, if the final arrival time is 21:00, attractions will close at 23:00.

Group Bookings

If you have already made a group booking and wish to add to it. Simply purchase online additional tickets for the date / time slot that your original booking is for (if available). We cannot add to an existing booking. You will still be able to move through the event as a group.

As far as possible we will try to arrange that large groups sit together on the Haunted Hayride. Please let the attraction host know you wish to sit together before entering the pre-show. For all other attractions you will be split to smaller groups.

Sorry but we are unable to offer hospitality packages.

What scares one person may make another laugh. Whilst our monsters do their best to terrify you, we understand that being scared is completely subjective. Our aim is to make Frightmare a great experience whatever your emotion. Throughout the whole event you will encounter live actors, special effects, enclosed spaces and sudden noises. We advise that once you have entered an attraction there can be no turning back – you must keep moving forward and follow the designated route to the exit.

We do not mind guests coming in fancy dress but we would prefer that full face masks are not worn. Should you wear a full face mask, you may be asked to remove it in the arena and WILL be asked to remove it before entering any of the attractions. If you have any concerns please speak to a member of staff on arrival.

When you arrive at Frightmare you may be subjected to a random bag search by our security team. This is for the safety of our visitors and staff. If you can avoid bringing a bag, so much the better. We do not have lockers available and you will have to keep the bag with you at all times.

We have a security team on site permanently during the event. Again this is for the safety of our visitors and staff.
