Halloween at The Jungle

Published on: 30 September 2022

We’re big fans of Halloween at The Jungle, you’ll see from our wide and varied range of events that we take it seriously! We can cater for all ages and walks of life, whether you want to be scared silly at Fright Night, have a day out for all the family at Hallowee’uns or test yourself physically at Zombie Run! Have a read below to see what we’ll be up to this Halloween.

ZOMBIE RUN

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES AT THE JUNGLE NI!

Kick off the Hallowe’en season with Zombie Run!

Ireland’s original Zombie Run at The Jungle, challenges participants to complete a daring 6K obstacle trail run while being chased by blood-thirsty, running Zombies.

The Zombie Run returns this year and will take place on Sunday 9th October 2022

This year’s course will be a challenging 6K obstacle run, complete with various ‘infected zones’ where you will be faced with the task of evading our life stealing zombies. You will have 3 ‘lives’ in the form of ribbons tied around your waist on a waistband. It will be your goal to try and finish the run, evading the Zombies and keeping your lives in tact. It will also have a disorientating Cornfield Maze to find your way through and lots of painstaking obstacles to conquer such as the Devil’s Ditch, Chaos Canal, the slippery Slip N Slide and many more. As usual, we will have few other spooky surprises to make it a little more daunting.

After the Adult races, we have the Kids and Teens Zombie Run with a 2km and 6km zombie chasing course.

It’s an obstacle run with a fiendish Halloween twist – think Rampage meets The Walking Dead!

HALLOWEE'UNS

This Halloween season, we’ve conjured up some delightfully frightful ideas and we welcome you all back to our popular ‘HALLOWEE’UNS‘ event, which is specifically for young kids and their families. Why should adults have all the fun after all?

During the event they will enjoy some pumpkin picking and carving, a haunting Haycart Ride with a rather wicked witch who will tell spooky stories along the way and a host of other adventure activities. We will also be giving out prizes for the best costumes, so all types of ghostly and fang-tastic costumes are encouraged.

The spooktacular event will run on Saturday 22nd October & Sunday 23rd October, then Friday 28th October right through to Tuesday 1st November.

FEAR FACTOR – 4/5

HOW IT WORKS

The Fright Night Woodland Trail tickets should be purchased online through our website. There will be a limited number of Woodland Trail tickets available each night.

You will pick a time slot at the time of booking; this will be your actual start time for the Woodland Trail, please allow time to park and make your way to The Fright Night Woodland Trail entrance (10/15 minutes). The Fright Night Woodland Trail will operate on a time slot basis; it is your responsibility to make sure you are on time.

Owing to the intense nature of the event, Fright Night at The Jungle is strictly for over 12’s only. All under 16’s must be accompanied by a responsible Adult over 18. Fright Night at The Jungle is an immersive, spine-tingling Halloween adventure and definitely not for the feint-hearted!

RETURN OF THE SCARE ATTRACTIONS

Scare Attractions story sized all in a row

If the Woodland Trail interactive story isn’t your thing and you’re in need of some quicker, more intense frights, we will also be bringing back 6 of our most infamous SCARE ATTRACTIONS:

THE INBRED HORROR HOUSE

A gang of insidious Inbreds await your arrival as you carefully venture through the confined and creepy Inbred Horror House. Having been locked away inside their forgotten family home and starved of attention, this rowdy bunch are in dire need of fresh meat after last year’s culling.

FEAR FACTOR 5/5


THE CIRCUS

Enter the twisted ‘Circus’ Scare Attraction. Home of the demented killer clowns, who love nothing more than teasing and tormenting their subjects, that’s YOU. Carefully find your way through the disorientating circus tent maze, complete with UV rooms and a spinning vortex, although be careful which way you turn… trouble is never far away!

FEAR FACTOR 5/5


THE WARD

The doctor will see you now! Check into The Ward. This disturbing set takes you on a deranged journey through the hospital from hell. Witness the cruel and torturous malpractices inflicted on the minds and bodies of the doomed patients who fell victim to the evil doctors and twisted nurses. Let’s hope they don’t turn their attentions to you!

FEAR FACTOR 4/5


THE CORNFIELD

The Cornfield makes a return at this year’s Fright Night. Find you way through the deep and dark maze, where danger lurks in the sweeping stalks of the eerie cornfield. Disorientating, chilling and full of terrors, this one requires the utmost attention to make your way out. Filled with creepy characters and chilling surprises, it really is the stuff of nightmares…. keep screaming, there’s no one around to hear.

FEAR FACTOR 4/5


THE HAUNTED HAYCART

Jump aboard the Haunted Haycart and travel along an unsettling mix of gruesome scenes, such as the graveyard and the eerie cornfield, where a cast of sordid characters can’t wait to meet you all and get up close and personal. More entertaining than frightening, sit tight and enjoy the ride!

FEAR FACTOR 3/5


THE CLAUSTRAFOREST

We’re pleased to announce that due to popular demand, we are bringing back the infamous Claustraforest. Prepare to enter the depths of the deep dark woodlands and make your way through tight and confined spaces, while keeping your wits about you for surprises. There’s trouble around every corner. That’s not all, you will have to squeeze your way through the smothering Claustraphobia tunnels. If you know… you know! This one is a journey into the unknown. Stay close, stay on the path and perhaps you’ll make it through!

FEAR FACTOR 5/5
