Greyfriar's Bobby and William Wallace vs The Haggis — Haunted Bunker Maze, Halloween 2026

Barnton Bunker Halloween 2026

Greyfriar's Bobby & William Wallace VS The HAGGIS

Scottish legends awaken. Ancient creatures return. And something in the darkness is very, very hungry.

20th–31st October 2026 · Barnton Bunker, Edinburgh

The Feast Has Awakened

A forgotten ritual known only as “The Feast” has awakened something ancient beneath Edinburgh. Led by the mysterious Haggis, a supernatural army is hungry.

Now Scotland's most unlikely heroes, William Wallace and Greyfriar's Bobby, must face the darkness as Scottish folklore, history and horror collide.

Will Bobby, Wallace and mankind survive? Or is it already... too late?

A Different Kind of Halloween Maze

This isn't quite your traditional haunted house. While there are scares to be had, this year's experience puts characters, atmosphere and storytelling at the heart of the adventure.

Drawing inspiration from Scottish folklore, the maze brings together unusual characters, atmospheric scenes and an original story that unfolds as visitors make their way through the experience.

And with Greyfriar's Bobby and William Wallace facing a supernatural Haggis, there's plenty of room for a little unexpected humour among the darker moments.

Everything has been imagined and brought to life by a passionate group of local and international volunteers. From handcrafted sets and props made using salvaged and repurposed materials to creative lighting, sound and live performances, the experience is the result of months of imagination, resourcefulness and hard work.

It's a labour of love rather than an attempt to recreate a large commercial horror attraction. Our volunteers have created something with its own personality: atmospheric, sometimes unsettling and occasionally ridiculous, against the naturally eerie backdrop of historic Barnton Bunker.

Choose Your Experience

Child-Friendly

Earlier sessions offer a gentler introduction to The Feast, with the emphasis on storytelling, characters and atmosphere rather than outright scares.

These sessions are designed for families with younger children and visitors who prefer a less frightening Halloween experience.

On 31st October, the child-friendly session starts at 6:30pm. Earlier dates have their own available times in FareHarbor.

Adult Experience

From 7:30pm, the story takes a darker turn.

Expect unsettling characters, suspense, theatrical encounters and jump scares from live scare actors.

Guests aged 5–13 may attend at their accompanying adult's discretion. Please consider whether the scares are suitable for the child in your care.

Children under 5 cannot attend Adult Experience sessions.
