Sold out opening weekend kicks off Yorkshire Hallowscream festival

Hallowscream at York Maze has fired the starting gun for 18 nights of spine-chilling Halloween fun with a sold-out opening weekend and the launch of a new VIP Bar, Lucifer’s Lounge.

It has to be one of our favourite things to do in October this spooky season.

Stars from Emmerdale, Love Island, Big Brother and a host of influencers were first to experience the new VIP bar on the Friday 10th opening night.

As well as Lucifer’s Lounge, Hallowscream visitors can get their hands on fresh pizzas, moresih burgers and even roast their own s’mores.

There’s plenty of foodie options to pick from, and help you refuel before taking on the rest of the scarehouses.

Says York Maze owner and creator of Hallowscream Tom Pearcy says: “We always aim to offer something new and after opening new scare houses in 2023 and 2024, this year we have transformed the central entertainment zone.

Drink with the Devil at Hallowscream in Lucifer’s Lounge

Enter the Hallowscream under a giant skull where you will find a new bar and an exclusive new VIP bar upstairs.

“From the balcony you get a spectacular view of the main stage with dancers and fire acts performing throughout the night. Inside Lucifer’s Lounge you can drink with the devil himself and try our new signature Blood Bag cocktail!”
