Frightful shambles

Halloween attraction is a let-down for families

- BY NADEEM BADSHAH mirrornews@mirror.co.uk

PARENTS were running scared after forking out for a Halloween event they dubbed a “shambles”. The few attraction­s at Screamania included a witch’s cauldron under a gazebo, a darkened tent with a pair of stepladder­s inside and an untidy marquee. Dan Rees paid nearly £46 for tickets for himself, his girlfriend Beckie, their seven-year-old son Buddy and his school friend Beau to check it out on Saturday. The disappoint­ed dad later shared photograph­s from the event at Reddish Vale Country Park in Stockport, Gtr Manchester, on Facebook. He wrote: “Word of warning to anyone thinking of taking the kids to Screamania. Don’t. Hilarious, yes. Spooky? No.” Operator Redmox Leisure apologised for the “let-down” and is offering refunds.
