A COUNTRY estate on the outskirts of Chester is inviting thrill-seekers to take part in a night-time jitter-filled journey in a jeep as part of its Halloween experience.

JEEPers Creepers will be taking place at the Carden Park Hotel and country estate from October 26-31, an adventure which sees those taking part go off-road around the estate in the back of the 4x4 vehicle in pitch black conditions, unaware of what hidden horrors await them.

The experience is said to test even the likes of Premier League footballer Ashley Williams who, according to event manager Phil Reeves, said it was "the scariest thing he had ever done".

Phil, director of Event Station which run JEEPers Creepers based on the estate, said: “There’s nothing else like this around and it was described in the press as one of the top 12 horror attractions in the UK.

“We have eerie music playing in the jeeps and the drivers dim their lights before you set off.

“There are games for the children to enjoy before and afterwards at our events centre including air hockey, table tennis and table football, as well as hot chocolate and sweet treats.”

The level of scariness depends on who is in the vehicles – as Phil explained.

“All our drivers have walkie-talkies so if we have a family with younger children booked in we can tone it down.”

For adults, it is a different story, as a star footballer found out to his cost last year.

“We had Ashley Williams, the big burly defender who now plays for Stoke City, but at the time was with Everton in one of the jeeps.

“He described it as the scariest thing he had ever done – he wanted to get out half way round!"

JEEPers Creepers costs £10 per person, available between 6-10pm. To book, call The Event Station on 01829 731500.
