The subterranean caverns and passages of Smugglers Adventure are set to be over-run by the living dead as part of a terrifying ‘Zombie Apocalypse Halloween Fright Night’ event on Friday, October 27th at 7pm.
Described by organisers as ‘extremely scary’ and featuring live, or at least undead, actors, the event is designed specifically for adults only.
It will make full use of the caves’ darkest and gloomiest passages to create an unforgettable experience and is definitely not suited for the faint-hearted or anyone who is easily frightened.
“We staged a successful zombie apocalypse event here in the caves last year. It is pretty much the perfect location with endless opportunities for extreme thrills and chills,” said Smugglers Adventure’s Leanna Lawson.
Steve Elliot, who attended the event in 2016 said: “My group all had a brilliant time at the Zombie Apocalypse Event. We thought it was well thought out and just the right combination of fun/scares. It was a great idea to hold the event in the caves as it creates a tense atmosphere not to mention having plenty of pitch black areas and hidden corridors.”
Leanna Lawson added: “We’ve arranged for a gang of zombies to be let loose within the cave system and the plucky volunteers will have to try and navigate their way through the near-dark passages and tunnels to get back to the entrance and avoid joining the ranks of the walking dead.
“Numbers for the event are strictly limited as keeping the group sizes relatively small will add to the overall experience and I know the zombies have a number of special surprises in store for anyone brave enough to accept the challenge. If the event is popular we will release another time slot that evening,” she added.
