Thorpe Park Fright Nights Accessibility 2025

Fright Nights is one of the UK’s biggest theme park events of the year, featuring four scare mazes, three scare zones, plenty of thrilling entertainment and rides in the dark! Running from October 3rd - November 2nd, here is a full guide of what to expect when visiting Fright Nights in 2025.

No Scare Lanyards

Not a fan of scares but visiting for the rides? You can purchase a No Scare Lanyard from Guest Services. No Scare Lanyards are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and will prevent scares around the park and inside the scare zones, but will not work inside the scare mazes. No Scare Lanyards are not 100% effective but actors will not intentionally scare you. Alternate lanyards, such as sunflower lanyards or similar lanyards purchased outside of the park will not work as a No Scare Lanyard.
