Tulleys Shocktober Fest 2023
Casting for RETURNING Performers

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY


OVERVIEW

Tulleys Farm Shocktober Fest is Europe’s largest Scream Park and winners of multiple industry and public voted awards. Shocktober Fest has since 2008 repeatedly won the title of the UK’S BEST SCREAM PARK.

Celebrating 27 years of screams, 2023 is going to be bigger and better than ever and Scream Park Entertainments are at the helm. We need 300 actors to perform in the mazes and attractions and as always, we’re looking for the best of the best.

Tulleys Shocktober Fest

PERFORMING STYLES

The Creepy Cottage, Horrorwood Haunted Hayride, The Cellar, Hell-ements, The Chop Shop , The Coven of 13, Wastelands Penitentiary, The Island, Electrick Circus & Doom Town.

There are TEN attractions and a Street Theatre team at Shocktober Fest, all with different styles of performance.  The Cellar for instance requires very physical performers who can respond and adapt quickly to the ever changing environment within a high impact maze, whereas the Haunted Hayride needs actors with great improvisation skills and can interact and engage with the up-close audience.

It’s hard work, and on some of the attractions it’s also cold and wet.  You may be working outdoors, but shelter is always nearby.

  • Full training and guidance from Scream Park Entertainments ‘Scream Training’
  • The opportunity to work at Europe’s largest Scream Park with some of the UK’s most experienced and well known Scare Practitioners
  • A professional acting contract
  • £60 or £71 per night depending on shift length (£11.68+ per hour) for all ages
