Scream Aloud 2021
Scream Aloud started several years ago as a small woodland maze and has grown over the years into the South’s biggest Halloween scare event.
Upon arrival we were greeted by a large circus tent as the main event hub, as well as a load of fairgrounds rides, a burger joint and a bar. Roaming the area and interacting with the queue were the inimitable Miss Fannie Burns and a chainsaw guy with a penchant for hammering mails through his nose!
The main three mazes at the event are experienced as one long walk, and it is here that we got a lot little confused. Nocturnal, Funhouse and Ward 13 all seemed to blend into each other with no real definition between each experience. For example we saw a clown in the Ward 13 section and a werewolf in the clown section! That's not to say that they weren't scary - but the three "attractions" kind of merged into one long experience with now real defining separation point.
But we must say that the woodland walk itself was really well laid out with some very winding paths and numerous switchbacks. The actors were able to get a number of scares and jumps throughout our group and they were particularly lively and menacing.
It is clear that Scream Aloud are only a newish event and just don't have the budget of many big events, so we really must commend them for what they have achieved with this year's experience. The main hub area was really buzzing on our visit, and people were leaving the woodland trail laughing at the scares they had experienced. We genuinely think this event has a great future ahead, and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Very scary
Me and my husband have followed scare tour for some time, always trying to go to one attraction a year.
But last year due to mobility we didn't plan one, until we saw an ad for a local attraction only 20 minutes away from us. So we booked early for only £7 each, which made me think oh god this is going to be tiny.
But when we arrived I couldn't believe it, they had converted a old christmas tree farm into a haunt.
And not only was it scary, funny and a good 35 minute attraction, a young lady working there allowed me and my husband to go alone to ensure I didn't get rushed by the other people that would be in our group.
Which means I give this Carnevil An A* for customer service
