If you’re ready for a thrilling night of screams, laughter, and unforgettable memories this Halloween, Tulleys Shocktober Fest is the ultimate event. Running from 3rd October to 1st November 2025, it’s Europe’s largest Halloween attraction, located right here in Turners Hill – just minutes from Crawley and Gatwick Airport.
👻 What to Expect at Shocktober Fest
Each autumn, Tulleys Farm transforms into a world-class scream park packed with immersive horror mazes, live street performers, and spectacular stage shows. You’ll walk through themed attractions filled with jump scares, enjoy street food and drinks under glowing lights, and dance to live DJs until late.
Fan favourites like the Haunted Hayride, The Cellar, and Electrick Circus deliver spine-tingling moments at every turn. Whether you crave pure adrenaline or just want to soak in the festival atmosphere, Shocktober Fest promises a night you won’t forget.
🚗 Easy to Reach from Crawley & Gatwick

💡 Top Tips for Visiting
– Book early: Tickets sell out quickly, especially on weekends. Fast-Track and VIP passes are worth it to skip queues.
– Arrive hungry: There’s a huge variety of food stalls and bars inside.
– Dress warm: Most attractions are outdoors or in open barns, and October evenings can get chilly.
– Take photos: The lighting and themed sets are incredible — perfect for your Halloween Instagram posts.
– Stay close: With events finishing late, booking local accommodation makes your experience smoother and stress-free.
✨ Make a Weekend of It
If you’re travelling from London or further afield, why not turn it into a weekend getaway? Spend one evening at Shocktober Fest, and the next day exploring Crawley, Tilgate Park, or nearby countryside trails.
