Conifox Scream Park: Edinburgh’s most intense horror experience returns after sold-out debut

Terror at Conifox Scream Park in Edinburgh expands to six nights with four immersive scare mazes, live entertainment, fireworks and a brand-new attraction this October.


Following a completely sold-out season in 2025, Terror at Conifox Scream Park is returning this October with its biggest and most intense experience yet.

Located just 15 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, the immersive horror experience has quickly established itself as one of Edinburgh’s most intense Halloween horror events, attracting thrill-seekers from across Scotland looking for something far darker than the traditional haunted house.

After selling out every available ticket last year, Terror is expanding for 2026 with two additional event nights, an all-new scare maze, live entertainment, Fast Track tickets and even more immersive experiences throughout the site.

For the first time ever, Terror will run across six nights, giving even more horror fans the opportunity to experience the fear.

Guests will come face-to-face with four immersive scare mazes, including an all-new attraction created exclusively for 2026. Returning favourites include the twisted Sadistic Circus, where distorted laughter echoes through a maze of disfigured clowns and warped funhouse corridors; Blackout, a pitch-black descent into the Butcher’s slaughterhouse where fear takes over your senses; and Redneck Rampage, a backwoods nightmare where Tucker and his blood-soaked family are always hunting for their next victim. Organisers are keeping details of the fourth maze tightly under wraps, with a terrifying new nightmare set to be unleashed this October.

While details remain tightly under wraps, organisers promise a brand-new nightmare waiting behind the doors this October.

“We were blown away by the response to Terror in 2025,” said James Gammell, Managing Director of Terror at Conifox Scream Park.

“To see the event sell out completely in its first year was incredible. The feedback we received from guests was fantastic and it was clear people wanted more.

“For 2026 we’ve gone bigger in every sense. We’ve added two extra nights, created an all-new maze, introduced Fast Track tickets and expanded the overall experience to make it more immersive than ever before.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome guests back this October and if last year’s demand was anything to go by, we’d encourage people to book early.”

Guests attending Terror 2026 will enjoy:

  • Entry into four immersive scare mazes 
  • Brand-new scare maze for 2026 
  • Live Fire Performer 
  • Spectacular Firework Display 
  • Live Music

New for 2026, guests can choose a Fast Track ticket, providing one priority entry per maze across all four immersive scare mazes, with unlimited regular maze access then available throughout the evening.

For the first time, Terror will also welcome guests aged 16 and over, opening the experience to an even wider audience of horror fans.

First to Fear tickets go on sale on Thursday 19th June and will be available for a limited time with 15% off standard ticket prices.

With the 2025 event selling out completely, organisers are encouraging guests to secure tickets early to avoid disappointment.

No map. No mercy. Just pure Terror.

Western leaders issue joint statement on Israel

The leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America released the following joint statement following their call yesterday:

‘Today (Monday Ed.), we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism.

‘We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for terrorism.  In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages. 

‘Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasise that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.

‘All of us recognise the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike. But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.

‘Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.’
