Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

Not scary at all. The walk through lasted about 15 minutes. Outside there was no music, staff looking bored and stalls etc overpriced. Four in our group all felt not value for money and disappointed.

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

This place is made out to be one of the scariest scare mazes in the uk with the best actors, when really it's a 20 minute walk around with people trying to scare you, not worth the money or the journey, severely needs work

Also the prices of food and the rides is a joke, £14 for a pepperoni pizza that was maybe 5 slices at best and £5 to go a fairground ride that last for 30 seconds (probably the best bit about the priory). Complete waste of time and money

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

The actual experience was a fun, immersive one, you could tell moat of the actors were putting lots of effort in. The theaming and path they have created through the attraction was brilliant, however the experience only lasted about 12 minutes with it finishing in a disappointing manor, the price is far to expensive for the offering. The night we went there was no one in the outside grounds which was a shame as a good atmosphere would have improved the night. Overall I would tell people to go and experience it if it was cheaper.

The initial Halloween experience was Ok...the pricing for the outside part was overpriced....poor singing entertainment.
Went to Local pub instead purchasing overpriced drinks...

Not very scary we expected to be scared and wasn't, was more funny

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

Felt like this was advertised as a scary event to cause terror - A group of 8 all over 16 went yesterday and found it funny not at all scary! NO atmosphere as hardly anyone there and the maze lasted about 20 mins - i feel £27.50 is very overpriced for a 20 minute event

Terrible walk thru not worth the almost 60 i paid for 20 minutes

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

It definitely didn’t have to scare factor like I thought it would and I wouldn’t waste the money or recommend

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

I go to maze events every halloween and I always enjoy them. I wasn't too sure on the ending of this one. I thought it would have been a better idea if the actors had chased us out the maze at the end and into the fair ground area with for example with chainsaws. Having said that I really enjoyed it and would recommend it

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

The actors were amazing but it's definitely not worth £28 per tick*t for 17 minutes and it says about live music there's a girl singing karaoke basically.
Was not scary enough and the decorations were bland. Would like a refund

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

Fantastic spooky indoor trail as opposed to an outdoor maze. Brilliant decorations, scary actors and props, which all worked very well in the old Priory building.
There is an outdoor mini fun fair after finishing the trail with some fun entertainment and food stalls. We recommend the axe throwing! I really hope this takes off and is well visited, my whole family loved it.

Would not do it again

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

Very disappointed. Experience took barely 25 mins. Over very quick, wasn't scary at all. Actors were good though. The worst scare out of all the ones iv been too.

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

I’m being completely honest, the scenery, actors and the whole theme of the walk through was amazing. Just did expect a little bit more at the end. For the price it did end very quickly. Was a bit of a let down as was building up to be a great ending and then we were outside thinking that can’t be it…. And it was unfortunately.
But for first year and second day, very strong potential and room for improvement.
I hope you don’t take my feedback to heart you done an outstanding job 👍🏻

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

Beautiful setting and has so much potential but the whole thing felt very rushed and didn't really flow. Lots of climbing up and down stairs. Group was too big so interactions with actors were missed by the time everyone had gathered together.
Not scary in the slightest but has so much potential to be amazing.
Actors and make up were good, it was just lacking scare factor.
Scariest thing was how much it cost.
Favourite thing was carving pumpkins but that cost extra too.

Review of A Nightmare at The Priory

The props and actors were good but there wasn't enough at all. The group we went around with was far too big. It wasn't scary or jumpy at all. It took us about 15 minutes to go round, for the price an absolute disappointing rip off. Not enough entertainment after either, had to spend another small fortune to try and entertain ourselves and use our time.
Been to far better ones so was expecting this to be similar, unfortunately I won't recommend..

Very poor, lasted around 5 mins, apparently there was a family event and later the actual maze but nowhere did it state on the website or booking the difference between the two.
