In partnership with Family Fright Fest
Why Everyone's Talking About This One
There's a reason Family Fright Fest keeps selling out year after year. (And we go back every single year). It's not one thing, it's dozens of things, all included in a single ticket, all genuinely built for families rather than tacked on as an afterthought.
Located at: Lintz Hall Farm, Burnopfield, NE16 6AS
Every event runs 11am until 4pm, so there's no awkward evening timing to work around school nights or bedtimes. Fancy dress is warmly encouraged (adults included, and yes, the grown-ups who make the effort tend to have just as much fun as the kids), with daily prizes and giveaways for anyone who goes the extra mile.
Scares are pitched specifically for ages 1 to 12, so you can bring the whole family without worrying about anyone having nightmares, while still getting that proper Halloween thrill.

Family Fright Fest has built its reputation the hard way, five years of families coming back, a genuine partnership with Hits Radio, and a ticket price that covers so many different activities rather than paying attraction by attraction.
Whether you're after the perfect fancy-dress photo opportunity, a free pumpkin your kids picked themselves, or just a proper, laid-back Saturday that doesn't end in a meltdown over, this is the North East Halloween event to build your October around.
Dates are limited, weekends fill fast, and there's genuinely nothing else quite like it in the region.
