About this event

Inspired by Myths, legends, film and TV discover the Anglo-Saxon Village in a brand new experience. Engage with the "Ancient Ones" and complete a series of unnerving challenges and tasks as you find a way back to the Modern Age and normal life.

What to expect?
What will I do? You will follow a designated route around the Anglo-Saxon Village with a number of activity/challenges to complete. At each activity will be a character interaction to add entertainment, obstacles and difficulty to the challenge.
Will I get scared? Not necessarily, the event is not a traditional scare event. The evening is designed to be atmospheric where some elements will be creepy, unsettling and possibly scary. There will be characters to interact with but their aim is not to jump scare you.
Entry & Format. At your booked time slot you will be released into the Shadow Paths. You'll have 7 minutes to complete each activity or encounter, followed by 3 minutes to move to next activity. A horn will blow to signal the 3 minute moving on.
Why £13.31? 1331 is considered the reversed mirror hour, symbolizing fears, doubts and challenges and a turning point in life. All of which is a key theme of Shadows of the Past.
Recommended age 12+
