Our girl Hannah Tan-Gillies ventured into rainy Norwich for a night of dread and terror at PrimEvil the UK’s biggest, baddest and most immersive Halloween experience.
PrimEvil is not for the faint of heart and certainly best experienced with the fam or a group of your best mates. Expect plenty of jump scares, immersive and wonderfully crafted scare mazes and a spooky atmosphere that will stay with you well past Halloween.
The scares begin even before you walk through the door with paid actors — dressed as murder victims, deranged clowns, zombies and even haunted puppets are dispersed among the crowds causing the occasional frightened squeal as people walk through the doors of the park.
PrimEvil is in the ROARR! Dinosaur park in Lenwade, so while the giant dinosaur sculptures may be a bit jarring (particularly in the outdoor scare mazes) you’ll be too busy getting the living daylights out of you to notice.
There are five scare mazes at PrimEvil, The Crypt, Route 666, Warehouse 51, Mayhem Manor and my personal favourite the Circus of Terror. Each one takes brave attendees through a series of rooms, each one scarier than the last, complete with different story lines, actors and jump scares.
The best ones, Circus and Area 51, incorporate plenty of funhouse elements too like a rotating flow, a ball pit of body parts, a treacherous bridge which hangs over industrial waste and so much more. Even outside of the scare mazes, the horror actors never break character, truly immersing attendees into the terrifying world of PrimEvil.
Bitter and Twisted, which is the main food and drink area that is themed around a wicked carnival, offers an array of excellent food truck type options. There is also a zombie band playing plenty of bangers, so it is a great place to take a break in between scares.
Top tip: General admission tickets are only £35 but it is well worth buying the fast pass tickets at around £50 each cause the queues, especially in the chill of late October, can be quite tedious.
Overall, PrimEvil is probably the best Halloween activity you can do in the UK and for this horror afficionado – I certainly can’t wait to return for another spooky adventure next year.
