Forest Of Fear

Halloween Parties 2012

Friday 2nd & Saturday 3rd of November

Remember when scary stories were actually scary? When innocent girls in Red Hoods couldn't take a hamper to their Granmas house without some skanky Wolf trying to eat them? When an innocent stroll in the woods with your stepmother could lead to being imprisoned in some mad bints confectionary based cottage? 

Or how about those legendary and mythical beasts who always seem to dwell in the deepest darkest woods. Trolls, Goblins, Ogres, Werewolves, Giants, Dragons!!! And don't forget the knight in shining armour or Prince Charming trying to rescue a beautiful Princess from her Evil Wicked Stepmother or messed up Wizard. 

On the bright side there's usually Faeries, Elves, Dwarves, talking Frogs who are nicer than the day is long... Or are they?

This year for Halloween we're transforming The Artful Dodger into a Fantasy Forest of Fear.

On Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of November transport yourself to a truly terrifying place inhabited by all those childhood horrors... and Heroes!

Please, take a stroll through our Forest of Fear, just don't go in alone... You never know what you'll come out as...
