Halloween fright is on the horizon: Lotherton unveils fresh terror event
Lotherton Hall Presents "Once Upon a Nightmare" - A Spooky Halloween Experience
This October, Lotherton Hall in Leeds, UK, is set to host an unforgettable immersive event titled "Once Upon a Nightmare." This thrilling Halloween experience invites visitors to step into a world where classic fairy tales take on a dark and twisted turn[2][3].
From October 25 to October 31, visitors can explore the misty grounds of Lotherton Hall, guided by the glow of lanterns. The estate's Edwardian setting provides the perfect backdrop for this spine-chilling event, with its historic hall and beautiful gardens[1].
As you venture through the grounds, you'll encounter reinterpretations of well-known fairy tales that are far from the happy endings you may be used to. Characters like a cursed Snow White and a wary Little Red Riding Hood with a ready-to-pounce wolf will leave you on the edge of your seat[5][2].
Cllr Salma Arif, Leeds City Council's executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles, and culture, said, "Once Upon a Nightmare promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who attend. We're excited to bring this immersive event to Lotherton Hall and can't wait for visitors to experience it for themselves."
Cllr Arif is associated with Breeze, another part of Leeds City Council, in delivering "Once Upon a Nightmare." The event is being launched by Leeds City Council, offering a unique Halloween attraction that combines the historic Edwardian setting with theatrical effects and storytelling[4].
Visitors can also take advantage of tractor rides at the Lotherton pumpkin patch, which is open from October 4. For those who dare, there will be pumpkins ripe for the picking, adding an extra layer of Halloween fun[6].
However, it's important to note that "Once Upon a Nightmare" is not recommended for children under eight or those who are easily scared. This immersive experience is designed for thrill-seekers looking for a strikingly different take on traditional fairy tales, making it a perfect way for the family to experience a spooky Halloween together[5].
So, if you're looking for a thrilling and family-friendly Halloween event, be sure to check out "Once Upon a Nightmare" at Lotherton Hall this October. It's an immersive experience that promises to be an unforgettable adventure for all who attend.
- In addition to the immersive horror event, Lotherton Hall also offers a variety of activities for visitors, such as exploring the pumpkin patch and taking tractor rides.
- For those interested in expanding their knowledge, Leeds City Council, in collaboration with Breeze, is also promoting educational and self-development opportunities.
- After a day filled with spooky adventures, visitors can relax and enjoy a variety of food and drink options available in the fashion-and-beauty, home-and-garden, and general-news sections of the estate.
