Thorpe Park Fright Nights

Europe's best-known theme park scare event, marking 25 years of fear.

Fright Nights is the event that made theme park Halloween a British institution, and 2026 is its 25th year. Expect a full slate of scare mazes — DeadBeat, Stitches, Trailers and Survival Games among them — plus a new maze for the anniversary.

Between mazes the park runs over 25 rides after dark, along with scare zones and live shows. Stealth and Nemesis Inferno in the dark are worth the ticket on their own.

Popular dates, especially the Halloween weekend, sell out weeks ahead. Maze access is a separate package on top of park entry, so check which ticket you are buying.
