Looking for one of the best family-friendly Halloween events in Sussex?

Shriek Week at Drusillas Park (26 October - 3 November) is offering families a FRIGHT-fully fun, spooky day out.

The Sussex attraction, located between Brighton and Eastbourne, always conjures up oodles of eerie excitement and seasonal surprises to keep little horrors half term happy, at their annual Shriek Week.

Alongside the Park’s fang-tastic zoo, rides, and play areas, visitors can enjoy a few family-friendly live action thrills, with just the right amount of scare for all ages:

Assistant Operations Manager, Stuart Terry spoke about the team’s ‘scare system’:

“We’ve spent years getting the level of ‘scary’ right for each of our visitors during Shriek Week, as there is no ‘one size fits all’ experience.

"Children, regardless of their age, have varying levels of sensitivity to these sorts of things, and so we do everything we can to be mindful of that.

"Between our team, we have lots of secret signals we will give to each other to indicate whether the spooky elements need to be toned down or ramped up so the experience fits the individual.”

Full details on Drusillas’ Halloween Shriek Week can be found on their website.

Located just off the A27 in Alfriston, Drusillas Park is open daily from 10am.
