If I pay in full, when will I receive my ticket? Show/Hide
Once payment has been received and verified (usually within an hour, although can take up to 24 hours) we will send out your ticket confirmation email. If you haven't received it after 48 hours please check your spam/junk email folder as common email hosts (yahoo, hotmail, google, gmail, apple etc) will automatically assume it is junk/spam. If it is not in that folder, please contact us.
How big are your group sizes? Show/Hide
We have an unwritten rule that each group should be no larger than 10 people for our indoor events, we also try to follow this rule for our outdoor events, however at times this may be as many as 12 people depending on the location.
** Due to covid-19 this has been amended **

Since you organise a lot of outdoor events, do you cancel these if the weather is bad? Show/Hide
Generally we only cancel an outdoor event is the weather is really bad. For example snow and ice. If it is raining then usually the event will still take place, because the majority of the outdoor events are in woodlands, which provides suitable cover when it rains.
We will also inform you of any inclement weather and advise suitable clothing for the location where were are holding the ghost hunt.
In some cases events will have to be postponed or cancelled due to the weather however we normally have a back up location if the planned location has no natural shelter.
