This halloween the derelict Newsham Park Hospital will become Newsham Scream Park!
The Victorian Grade II listed building once housed a Seamen’s orphanage, hospital, asylum and nursing home, and now the walls echo with fragmented memories at night. Dark passages lead to shadowy basements, and staircases descend into darkness to claustrophobic spaces.
When there is no wind, eddies of dust swirl across the courtyard. Regardless of the season, a chill lingers the main rooms and halls. The site contains wheelchairs and trolleys from decades ago, as well as control and suppression instruments.
Newsham Park Hospital, long abandoned to the elements, is a mecca for ghost hunters and spectral thrill seekers, with many claiming to have seen spirits, heard whispers, or felt the touch of something cold on their spine. It is frequently cited as one of the most haunted buildings in the United Kingdom, stalked by those who used to govern it or be its unfortunate guests. Many believe that its history has left an indelible imprint that emerges only at night.
And something truly terrifying will stalk the cursed corridors and decaying dormitories of Newsham Scream Park this Halloween.
Asylum Entertainment Limited has teamed up with one of Europe’s biggest scare attraction companies to take over the derelict building and create a horrifying Halloween vision that will have no comparison. Three scare attractions will terrify guests: the Insanitorium and The Orphanage, aged 14+, and the strictly aged 18+ HELLuminati. Each experience will wind through the dark bowels of the building, filled with deepening dread and moments of sheer blood-curdling panic, as guests follow each nightmarish path through Newsham Scream Park.
Insanitorium and The Orphanage are included in the base ticket price, and HELLuminati is extra, with dates running from Friday, October 13th, to Sunday, November 5th. The courtyard at Newsham Scream Park will include live music and DJs, licenced bars, food vendors, and an array of tarot card readers, mystics, spirit board guides, and other curious characters.
Newsham Scream Park – The Three Scare Attractions
Insanitorium – The Doctor will see you now…
Check in for your appointment at The Goodwell Institute, where the masterminds of unethical medical science are attempting to discover the answer to the eternal question: what happens to the soul after death?
But be warned, The Invasia Procedure is not going to plan, and now delirium rules the wards inside the Insanitorium – you would be MAD to miss it…
The Orphanage – There will be no mercy…
Since 1913 The Blessed Sisters of Mercy have housed orphaned and unwanted waifs and strays at The Orphanage, providing an education and a home, dictated by a stern religious philosophy.
But home is not always where the heart is, and at the rotten core of the sisterhood dwells an ancient evil first invoked by Sister Mary Mercy, and which must be appeased in the most diabolic way…
HELLuminati – Membership is open
Hidden within the bowels of the Asylum lies the headquarters of an ancient secret society known as the Helluminati; a worldwide network of wealthy individuals with omnipotent global control.
The members amuse themselves by doctoring what they call ‘the meat’; obtained by illegal auctions in the deepest parts of the dark web.
Membership is now open. But are you suitable to join the sick and twisted minds of the members, and their enigmatic leader – Omega, inside HELLuminati, or are you simply ‘meat’?
Tickets go on sale on Friday 7th July 10am for Newsham Scream Park.
