The Hallowe’en horror event at Hawkshaw Farm Park, Clayton-le-Dale, opens on Wednesday, October 22, boasting ‘a fear-filled slate of attractions for fearless families, thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies and courageous kids.’ Last year organisers of the ‘Scare Kingdom Scream Park’ off the A59 had to defend its special over-18s section called ‘Psycho-manteum’, where visitors were velcro-strapped to a bed and had a sex toy waved in their face.

The Farm of Terror is also set to return to Bacup from Friday, October 24, until Sunday, November 2.

The live experience horror event is hosted by Huttock Top Farm in Newchurch Old Road and will feature gruesome monsters and frights inside the spooky farm house.
