Scream Team
Your adrenaline is pumping, your heart is beating loud in your chest, you can see shadowy figures moving towards you in the darkness… and then, and then, and then… YOU make them SCREAM, and laugh, and scream!! You retreat silently back into your hiding place until the next group comes along, a big smile on your face.
If you enjoyed your visit to Scaresville, why not think about joining us behind the scenes for this year’s event? Each year we recruit volunteers who must commit to a minimum three nights as a scarer, as well as remunerated positions for those prepared to commit themselves for the duration of the event in a variety of roles from scarer & actor to set builder and propmaker. To register your interest please fill in the enquiry form below. We begin our recruitment process in August each year, but feel free to sign up to the list any time!

“When you are a marshal you have to be prepared that anything could happen, and then deal with it... We are in constant radio contact and responsible for keeping the flow of groups and looking out for our scarers. This keeps you busy all night, with just as much laughing as responsibility!”
Joanna, Route Marshall

“My whole family have had so much fun as scarers at Scaresville for the last three years and we can’t wait until October to do it all again! Sometimes we’re together and other times scaring individually, but either way it’s fun to meet up at the end of the night and share stories of our best scares! There’s no better thrill than jumping out on a cocky/brave adult man in a group with his mates and making him fall over because he’s so scared!”
Beth, Volunteer Scarer

“Scares come in all shapes and sizes, all levels of activity (or inactivity) and there’s always been a place for me on the scare route. Scaresville values its team of scarers and they always do their utmost to accommodate their needs... Don’t let injury or disability prevent you from joining in the fun; whether you’re limited by a walking stick or a wheelchair, there’ll be a place for you at Scaresville.”
Pete, Volunteer Scarer

You bet! It is lots of fun, but it is also hard work. Many people will come after a full days work to scare for 4-5 hours, before going home and doing it all again the next day. Why do they do this? Because the andrenaline rush and enjoyment of hanging around in the dark to scare visitors just keeps you coming back.
