Fright Nights® returns on select dates from 3rd–5th, 10th–12th, and 16th October to 2nd November 2025. The park is open from 10am–9pm, giving you more time to experience our scare attractions, live shows, and one of the UK’s leading Halloween theme park events. 

For full details, visit our opening hours page to plan your visit and make the most of your Halloween thrills.

We’ve got four fearsome mazes for you: DeadBeat, Stitches, Trailers and Survival Games. Plus, Lucifer’s Lair Scare zone and show, The Crows of Mawkin Meadow scare zone and an all-new supernatural show, Creature Campus – Shock to the System. This Halloween, we’re opening the gates to an all-new realm where lost souls wander in purgatory and time stands still. Keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon…

Yes, actors will be roaming from 3pm.

We are not currently planning a Passholder Preview event for 2025; however, all Passholders can take advantage of discounted afternoon Fearsome Four packages and discounted afternoon One Shot tickets. Plus, for the hardcore Fright Nights® regulars, check out the Frequent Fright Pass exclusively available for Passholders.

Hotel Guests (guests staying at the Thorpe Shark Cabins only) get single-use access to all scare mazes between 3pm-6pm from their second day included in their stay. Any hotel guests wanting to experience the mazes after 6pm must purchase a ticket.

If a guests’ overnight stay only includes Fright Nights® on their first day, then they will get their Free Scare Maze access between 3pm and 6pm on their first day. Guests who have booked a Fright Nights® Break with Fastrack will get their Free Scare Maze access between 3pm and 6 pm on the same day as their Fastrack.

This year, we have the Fearsome Four scare maze package, which includes single-use access to all four mazes. This is available at two different time slots:

• 3pm – 7pm (Afternoon)
• 5pm – 9pm (Evening)

Individual maze tickets can also be purchased; these are called scare maze One Shot tickets. These are available for each scare maze and are available for £8 at 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm or for £10 at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.

We have also brought back the Frequent Fright Pass, a Passholder exclusive. New for 2025, this pass gets unlimited access from 3pm-9pm for the entirety of Fright Nights® 2025 for £113.

Annual Passholders get a discount on the following:

• 3pm, 4pm and 5pm scare maze One Shot tickets
• Afternoon Fearsome Four

Thorpe Shark Cabins guests get a discount on the following:

• 3pm, 4pm and 5pm scare maze One Shot tickets

The Frequent Frights Pass gives the named passholder unlimited access to DeadBeat, Stitches, Trailers and Survival Games from 3pm – 9pm only from 3rd-5th, 10th-12th and 16th October – 2nd November 2025 only. This pass is not valid for private events. The Frequent Fright Pass is a digital pass only. Frequent Frights Passes must be used in conjunction with a valid Thorpe Park or Merlin Annual Pass, plus a pre-booked park entry. This pass does not give access to the park during exclusion dates. If your Annual Pass is not valid on the day of visit, an upgrade ticket must be purchased. The Frequent Frights Pass does not extend the expiry date of your Annual Pass and does not qualify for a renewal price. Misuse of the pass may result in suspension of your pass. Misuse includes (but is not limited to): attempted use by another person, selling the pass, or altering the information printed on the pass. Park entry and Scare Maze restrictions apply. Recommended for ages 13+. Free carer Frequent Frights Passes are not available, each person entering a maze must hold their own pass or ticket. This pass does not give you instant access to each scare maze, queue times can be found in the Thorpe Park app.

The Fearsome Four packages are priced the same as purchasing individual maze tickets for the equivalent time slots. The package gives you four hours to experience the four mazes, so purchasing One Shot tickets at 3pm, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm would be the same price as purchasing the Afternoon Fear Four Package.

Lanyards can be purchased from Guest Services. Lanyards are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be secured ahead of your visit.

The No Scare Lanyard is only effective during Fright Nights® in our Scare Zones. Lanyards must be worn on the outer layer of clothing and be clearly visible. Be advised if the actor cannot see the lanyard e.g., if approached from behind, or hidden under clothing – they may still scare you. Note, if entering a scare zone, please expect loud noises, strobe lighting, and special effects – the No Scare Lanyard does not lessen this.

No, by their nature our scare mazes are dark and intense experiences – therefore actors are not able to easily see No Scare Lanyards and adapt the experience quickly enough.

No, one lanyard per person. Those not wearing a lanyard will still experience scares.

No, only lanyards supplied by Thorpe Park are effective.

No, the Sunflower lanyard scheme covers a wide range of additional needs; therefore, those wearing a Sunflower lanyard may still wish to experience a full scare.

Absolutely! Fright Nights® isn’t just for scare-seekers — all major rides and rollercoasters stay open late, so you can enjoy the thrills without the frights. Thorpe Park remains one of the UK’s top Halloween theme parks for both adrenaline junkies and more casual guests, making it one of the most inclusive Halloween events near London. Explore our rides and attractions here.

Prefer to skip the jump scares? Grab a No Scare Lanyard from Guest Services, it lets our actors know not to approach you, so you can soak up the atmosphere at your own pace.

Fright Nights® attractions are recommended for ages 13+, however our rides are open as usual, and standard restrictions apply.

If you are a wheelchair user and require physical assistance inside our mazes, you are entitled to a free maze entry ticket for 1 carer. You must have a paid maze entry ticket yourself in order to claim the free carer ticket. These can be collected from our team at Guest Services, located in the lower dome, post-1pm. Outside of this, each person must hold their own paid ticket, free carer tickets are not available for mazes. Should you need any further assistance, please email the team at customer.services@thorpe-park.co.uk.

Absolutely! Dressing up is all part of the fun. While full costume face masks aren’t permitted, face paint and creative costumes are more than welcome. Need inspiration? Check out our Halloween costume ideas guide.

Note: We do not allow imitation weapons in the park.

All scare mazes are wheelchair accessible. Please speak with staff if you need assistance. Find more information on theme park accessibility here.

Scare mazes by nature are intense, they are designed to scare even the most fearless. It is therefore important guests arm themselves with the knowledge prior to buying tickets, allowing them to make an informed decision whether to enter or not.
