Buy Fear at Avon Valley Tickets
As the nights draw in and October approaches, standard Halloween plans simply won't cut it for thrill-seekers across the South West. Luckily, FEAR at Avon Valley Scream Park—the multi-award-winning multi-maze Halloween event located just outside Bristol—is returning for another season of unrelenting frights, theatrical madness, and heart-pounding terror.
Running on select dates through October 2026, FEAR continues to push the boundaries of immersive horror. This year, the headline story on everyone's lips is a terrifying addition designed to test even the most hardened scream park veterans.
NEW for 2026! Introducing… The Autopsy
If you thought you knew what to expect from a scare attraction, think again. FEAR at Avon Valley has unveiled its brand-new highlight for 2026: The Autopsy. Following the shocking discovery of seventeen-year-old Evelyn Grace, her body has been transferred to Stidham County Mortuary for examination. With no obvious cause of death and evidence that defies all conventional explanation, Dr Calder and Investigator Ryans begin what should be a routine post-mortem. But as the examination unfolds, the evidence becomes increasingly impossible to explain. Strange occurrences escalate, reality begins to unravel, and one terrifying question remains…
…what if death wasn’t the end of the story?
Set within the same narrative universe as The Exorcism, The Autopsy is not a traditional walkthrough attraction—it is an investigation you’ll witness from the inside. Blending live performance, cinematic storytelling, and psychological horror, this immersive theatrical horror experience puts you directly into the cold, clinical, and increasingly unnerving space of Stidham County Mortuary.

Ticketing Note: The Autopsy is included in all RIP Passes, but functions as an add-on experience for standard admission ticket holders. Because nightly capacity for this theatrical attraction is strictly limited, advance booking is essential.
