Tulleys Shocktober Fest 2025 Adds Greggs Zombie Maze and More

Tulleys Farm has announced major new additions for its 29th edition of Shocktober Fest, Europe’s largest scream park. Running for 25 select nights from 3 October to 1 November 2025, the Sussex-based Halloween attraction will debut an original horror maze titled Glitch, alongside an unexpected brand collaboration that transforms high street bakery Greggs into a haunted scare attraction.

The event’s newest haunt, Glitch, introduces a dystopian twist on the traditional scare maze. Set inside an abandoned barn overtaken by a corrupted time experiment, guests are lured into a government facility where a rogue intelligence known as C.A.D. manipulates perception, identity and fear. The attraction promises a sensory-disruptive experience aimed at disorienting and overwhelming participants.

This year’s festival also marks a shift in branded horror experiences, with Greggs entering the seasonal scare space. The bakery giant will host an immersive walkthrough in Doom Town, one of the park’s most popular haunts. Visitors will find no sausage rolls or steak bakes, only infected staff and undead customers in a reimagined Greggs overrun with zombies. The attraction represents a surprising pivot for the brand, better known for convenience food than blood-soaked theatrics.

Returning for another year is NYX Professional Makeup, whose expanded presence will now include a new location, NYX Cosmetics Manor House, alongside previous touchpoints in Doom Town and along the Haunted Hayride. The brand’s visual integration and street-level pop-ups continue to merge beauty with immersive entertainment, contributing to Shocktober Fest’s evolving identity as both scream park and Halloween-themed lifestyle event.

Shocktober Fest remains centred around its eleven headline attractions, from Wastelands Penitentiary and Creepy Cottage to the fiery chaos of Electrick Circus. Other returning favourites include Route 666, the Haunted Hayride through Horrorwood Studios, and the ritualistic horror of The Carving. Each haunt features its own cast, design and storyline, many of which have won awards for originality and execution.

Live music, fire shows, and theatrical street performances form the core of the event’s festival component. CarnEvil Cabaret and Poker’s Party return as anchor stage shows, while late-night thrill rides such as X-LR8, Slingshot, and the interactive Shock Chairs offer an adrenaline boost between scares.

For guests needing respite from the horror, a wide range of food and drink options are available across themed bars and dining areas. These include the Reaper Bar, Bentley’s BBQ Grill, and the medieval-inspired Crooked Hag Tavern. Sweet options range from churros and doughnuts to extensive pick-and-mix stands.

Now approaching its third decade, Shocktober Fest continues to redefine the scope and ambition of seasonal horror entertainment in the UK. The 2025 event signals a continued commitment to scale, spectacle and experiential marketing, reinforcing its position as a flagship attraction in the Halloween calendar. Simply put, there is no better place to get scared senseless this spooky season!
