Scream Park & Farm Park Entertainments

What Scream Park & Farm Park Entertainments does

Scream Park & Farm Park Entertainments LTD is a UK-based private limited company founded in 2012 by Chris Bowman (Business Director) and Toni Lilley (Creative Director), both former actors. The company provides specialist actor management and performer-based event production services for seasonal Halloween scare attractions and other live entertainment venues in England. Its core deliverable is end-to-end event staffing: casting, training, costume design, SFX makeup, scriptwriting, original music production, and on-site performance management, executed through a branded proprietary curriculum called Scream Training™.

The company's commercial footprint centers on three flagship productions — Hallowscream at York Maze (5 attractions, 150+ actors), The Howl at Mead Open Farm (7 attractions, ~150 actors), and Shocktober Fest at Tulleys Farm (11 attractions, 300+ actors) — placing it as operator or production partner of what it describes as Europe's largest scream park. Beyond live events, the portfolio extends to promotional film services, street theatre and queue-line entertainment, bespoke concept development, and a growing training product. Its broader offerings (corporate events, festivals, street theatre, promotional videos) represent a stated but operationally secondary vertical.

The business model is professional services revenue earned from venue operator clients under seasonal contracts, with performer compensation disclosed in the £71.25-£85.50 per-night range (≈£12.71/hr + holiday pay) and a separate stream from creative/production fees, training, and film commissions. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to attraction venues plus self-serve performer recruitment through online casting applications and social channels. The company operates a core team of approximately 12 key managers, is GDPR compliant, has no external institutional funding, and shares ownership with sister company Farm Park Entertainments, with which it maintains a year-round acting recruitment footprint.
