Review of Fairground Frights at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach

Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has launched a new Halloween event this year, Fairground Frights, and we were invited to the opening night.

All of the rides and attractions are open from 5pm - 8pm on 28th - 31st October 2020, with a Halloween twist!

A small army of talented scare actors have taken over the park, around the pathways and on some of the rides. Nowhere is safe, as the stellar cast of sinister characters creep up on any unsuspecting guests, and on occasion chase terrified visitors across the park!

The event definitely isn't suitable for children under the age of 5, and anyone under 12 must have someone older with them. Everyone is encouraged to dress up, with prizes for the best outfits.

There are Halloween decorations, light projections, smoke and music everywhere, creating a unique atmosphere that from goes from eerie to electric in minutes.

We particularly liked the addition of a live DJ playing a selection of hits throughout the event.

The park’s Fun Factory attraction has become the Not So Fun Factory scare maze, packed with crazed clowns, flashing lights and lots of smoke.

The scare actors in the Haunted Hotel ghost train include a receptionist, bell boy, evil maid and psycho guest!

Sky Drop has become Death Drop with added smoke and fire effects.

Even the historic Roller Coaster has smoke and lights in the station, as well as scare actor Haunted Hayden at the start of the ride.

We're so pleased that Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has created this new event. They've done an amazing job for the first year, and we can't wait to see it return next year with even more scares in store!

Tickets are £17 per person and available at pleasure-beach.co.uk

We were invited guests of Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach for the purposes of this review.
