An East Lancashire scare park has received special recognition from Europe’s only scare attraction convention.

Scare Kingdom Scream Park, in Clayton-le-Dale, won a ScareCON ‘Scare Award’ for ‘best multi-park scream event’, beating five other popular attractions on the short list.

It was also nominated for best costume and makeup and best original concept and design.

A spokesperson for the team said: “We were delighted to win a ScareCON Award this year for best Halloween event, it is down to the huge production team that work all year to make Scare Kingdom the best it can be!"

It’s the attraction’s 13th year of scaring visitors and this year’s event promises to be “more spine-tingling than ever before”.

Scare Kingdom offers guests the ultimate Halloween experience combining live scare actors, special effects and heart-pumping thrills, across seven all-new scare attractions and experiences for daring families, thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies and courageous kids.

Jason Karl, Creative Director of Scare Kingdom Scream Park said: “For our thirteenth year of fear, we are re-developing our attractions with all-new storylines, characters and scares, plus we have the all new ‘Psychomanteum – The Second Coming’, which is a brand new version of the ultimate scare experience for over 18’s only.

“Across the park we have crazed doctors, killer clowns and sinister spirits who are ready and waiting to give guests something really scary to scream about!”

As well as five scare mazes, there will also be a licensed bar and food on the premises.

Alongside the scare mazes, ‘Streetmosphere’ characters roam the park providing interactive encounters with guests.

Here is a full list of the chilling mazes and scare experiences available at Scare Kingdom:

The Paradise Foundation – Insurgence

Body Snatchers – Gunpowder Plot

At the end of Knox Alley, in old Whitechapel, Guy Fawkes and his band of brigands have made their lair in the cellars of Brimstone & Black’s degenerate funeral parlour.
