Halloween

Welcome to the darker side of AREA 51!

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH?


AREA 51 are masters of the immersive horror experience; we have been creating walk-through scare attractions for well over 20 years – as far afield as Dubai.

Alongside creating bespoke experiences for many high-profile clients, we also operate our own public events that have been recognised among the most highly rated in the UK, scooping several awards and plentiful nominations at the highly respected ScareCon Scare Industry Awards each year, competing directly with the likes of Thorpe Park and Alton Towers.

A NEW TAKEON TERROR

WHAT MAKES OUR SCARE ATTRACTIONS… SO ATTRACTIVE?!

IMMERSION: Our forte is in delivering a more immersive experience than most; guests entering the attraction in carefully regulated groups, allowing us to prioritise character and storytelling, much like being trapped in your very own horror movie.

FRIGHTS AND THRILLS: We can of course provide a more traditional scare maze attraction, complete with wandering characters and plenty of jump scares, but mixing these elements with our unique dash of theatre strikes the ideal spooky experience... for those who dare enter. Yes, it has to be frightening, but most of all it has to be fun!

DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: Add to this an absolute attention to detail, perfectly themed costumes for any scenario, and suitably horrific SFX & make-up courtesy of the most talented artists in the business. Finally, we’d be nothing without our team of delightfully deranged scare actors; a beautifully brutal blend of thespianism and thuggery!

NO TURNING BACK!

FRIGHTENINGLY FLEXIBLE

Completely flexible and designed to fit your space. We will carefully plan and script a unique scenario to fit with your requirements and level of fear you would like to instil in your audience. An experience can last anywhere from 6 to 60 minutes as required.

HOW IT WORKS

Groups follow a path, entering at intervals designed to give everyone the full experience, encountering a mixture of hidden scares and action-packed choreographed set-pieces along the way. Soundscapes are created and lighting is carefully designed to ramp up the atmosphere, adding to the suspense as they proceed. We strive for a truly immersive, cinematic adventure.

SET AND DECOR

We can add the necessary decor and props to turn any location into a nightmare scenario, or build entire sets and maze layouts from scratch.

SOUND AND LIGHTS

Our all-weather multi-system sound and light set-up covers an enormous area, vital for setting the right atmosphere. Immersive soundscapes are created for each attraction.

NUMBERS

We take great care to regulate flow, carefully managing large numbers of guests over the course of an evening. As one group exits a setpiece, it's reset in time for the next group to enter.

AWARD WINNING

"Best make-up & SFX", "Best set-piece" and "Best drive through experience" are amongst our awards, with multiple nominations in all relevant categories.

ACTORS

We fine tune the number of actors for any length of experience, portraying a variety of characters; from those with prominent speaking roles to eerie mute wanderers and jump scare performers.

TECHNICAL TEAM – APPROX 6

Make-up artists are essential for our appropriately terrifying SFX and prosthetics, alongside roaming technicians ensuring everything is running smoothly behind the scenes. Exact numbers depend on the length and complexity of the experience.

EXTRA ENTERTAINMENT

We can provide a wide variety of cabaret and meet & greet characters to entertain the queue upon arrival, or if you have a food court / entertainment area, we can supply suitable music and twisted sideshow acts.
