An interactive Halloween pop-up experience is set to take place at the James Alexander Warehouse next month.
Located at The Island Quarter, the new temporary attraction will launch on 12 October and run for three weeks at the disused warehouse that was formally part of Boots’ main research, production and storage facility dating back to 1800s.
During the experience, thrill seekers will be transported to the scene of a chemical outbreak at a secret scientific test facility. There they’ll be racing against the clock to make it through the ‘scare maze’ in the James Alexander Warehouse, where live actors
transformed into scary inhabitants lurk, awaiting visitors at every corner.
The one-of-a-kind event will run from 5.00pm – 10.00pm on weekdays, and 2.00pm – 10.00pm on weekends. A special ‘family friendly’ experience will be created for families with children on the Saturday and Sunday dates from 2.00pm – 5.00pm, while older guests
can buckle up for a truly spine-tingling experience, complete with jump scares, as night falls from 5pm onwards
Ben Hicklin, head of events at Binks Yard, said: “This is an exciting next step for the ongoing development of our events offering, after launching our huge outdoor stage and screen, investing in a cover for our outdoor terrace and expanding into our second
outdoor area, the Cargo Park.
“This October, Outbreak Nottingham’s Scarefest offers a chance to explore the James Alexander building for the first time in years, showing an example of the creative ways the space can be used, and we’ve worked with local promoters as well as professional
and amateur actors from across the city to bring it to life.
“It’s set to be a fantastic event, the likes of which haven’t been seen in Nottingham before, and together with the team at Outbreak, we look forward to welcoming thrill seekers next month.”
Once guests have completed the scare maze, they will be escorted back to Binks Yard to enjoy exhilarating and family fairground rides, as well as an external food court and bar.
