Tulleys Shocktober Fest 2026
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 30 years of screams, 2026 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, Purgatory, Hell-ements, The Chop Shop , The Coven of 13, Wastelands Penitentiary, Electrick Circus, Doom Town, The Carving & ………

There are 11 attractions and a Street Theatre team at Shocktober Fest, all with different styles of performance.  Electrick Circus for instance requires very physical performers who can respond and adapt quickly to the ever changing environment within a high impact maze, whereas the Street Theatre team 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.
