Will the event go ahead in bad weather?Yes – Kelburn Haunted Forest is an outdoor event and will go ahead in almost all weather conditions, including rain and cold. We recommend dressing appropriately with sturdy footwear and waterproof clothing. The only time we would cancel is if we deem the conditions unsafe for guests, staff, or performers, for example, during high winds or extreme weather warnings. In that case, we would contact all ticket holders with rebooking or refund options.

Is the trail suitable for all abilities?Kelburn Haunted Forest takes place outdoors on a challenging forest route. The trail includes low-level lighting, uneven and rough terrain, narrow pathways, and areas that may become slippery in wet weather. Sturdy footwear is essential.

By booking, you acknowledge and accept the risks of the trail and understand that accessibility is limited.
