When darkness falls this October, something wicked will emerge in the South East. The Village of the Cursed at Crouch Valley Showground (SS6 7FQ) invites the brave and curious to experience a fright-filled night unlike any other
An Immersive Descent into Terror
Your journey begins at a seemingly innocuous station. Hand in your ticket, and then—brace yourself—as you crawl through the Tunnel to Platform Cursed, where reality unravels and nightmares come alive. From there, six horrifying mazes—and two extra chilling experiences—await to corrupt your senses.
Expect to encounter:
The Hallow Frame – where playful toys unify under a dreadful, haunting guise.
CON‑Vent – where nuns guide you from light into unrelenting darkness.
Death‑Row – an anarchic maze that leaves no corner safe.
The Silence Hotel – once luxurious, now overrun with shadows and secrets.
The Clinic – a deranged sanatorium promising a “warm welcome” of madness.
Plus, two more labyrinths that will test your resolve.
Not Just Scares — Experience the Village
Need a break from screaming? Get your heart pounding elsewhere:
At Devil’s Gate Dive, the licensed bar, raise a glass of beer, wine, cider—and maybe something stronger—as the DJ spins eerie beats.
Hungry or feeling bold? Grab comfort food or street eats in the Food Courtyard. Or, channel your inner lumberjack by trying your hand at axe-throwing in the sideshow.
Capture your terror forever with a photo shoot alongside the Maze freaks, available for a modest fee next to the bar.
Who Can Dare Attend?
This spine-chilling event is strictly for adults: 16 and above, with those under 18 requiring a parent or guardian over 18 to accompany them. Please be aware: due to the maze design, access is limited. Carer tickets are not available.
