Watermouth Castle to descend into darkness at Halloween

Get ready to be spooked!

Descend Into Darkness at Watermouth Castle

Descend Into Darkness at Watermouth Castle

A haunted castle with a twisted maze of horror. This October, be first to experience Watermouth Castle’s first-ever immersive scare attraction, ‘Descent into Darkness’.

Watermouth Castle has a new owner. His desire: to create an amusement park for local people to come and enjoy and share his wonderful new home. Little is known about this mysterious benefactor. Some say he is eccentric. Some say he is mad.

Get ready to be spooked! Watermouth Castle, nestled in the heart of North Devon, is excited to announce its hair-raising Halloween scare event, promising thrills and chills for all horror lovers, fright fiends, and all those who love a good fright…

Do you dare to come face-to-face with terror? With bone-chilling attractions, live scare actors, and heart-pounding themed areas, this event is not for the faint of heart. Join us if you dare for a night of spine-tingling fun, and unforgettable scares.

Do you dare to come face-to-face with terror? The castle’s multiple different immersive scare zones include:

  • Cursed Forest: a bone-chilling woodland trail of howling wolves, clanking chains, and hanging trees.
  • Carnival of Clowns: this twisted fairground is a freakshow of horrifying jokers, bloody face paint and maniacal laughter.
  • The Mad Maze: beware; a gang of the undead scarecrows have to come to life – and now they wander the twisted paths of the castle’s maze, looking for their next victim… you!
  • Voodoo Valley: journey down the river of restless spirits; just make sure you don’t become yet another one of the lost souls trapped in its waters…
  • The Haunted Castle: when the castle doors slam closed, you’ll find yourself trapped in a hellscape of cobwebs, cursed animatronics, and haunted robots.

And only the bravest will dare to complete their journey with a descent into the bowels of the castle itself – the demented dungeon.

Run by Catfish Productions, in partnership with Watermouth Castle. Descent Into Darkness suitable for under 12s or wheelchair users. Under 16s must have an accompanying adult.

The experience lasts approximately one hour, and tickets will start at £20 for early bird rates.
