An AWARD WINNING scare event!
Following our debut season, Beacon Hill After Dark was awarded Best New Single Haunt 2025 by The Scare Factor, one of the world's leading haunted attraction review organisations.
"This is such an immersive and unique experience, and it's well organised, creating a truly unforgettable night."
— The Scare Factor
For two nights only, Harwich's historic Beacon Hill Fort once again transforms into an award-winning scare event. Returning with new scenes and scares, guests will venture through dark tunnels, haunted woodlands, and decayed buildings as their worst fears are unleashed.
Deep within the fort, a deranged doctor has re-opened his long-condemned medical research facility. His twisted experiments on nightmares have gone horribly wrong… and now he needs YOU as his next willing volunteer.
Dare you enter this October and face The Nightmare Experiment?
