The Bunker Below - Brentwood

Loved it! Actors were all 10/10, definitely lots of screams from us ? the perfect setting for a scary experience. We will definitely be back next year!

I visited with my 17 year old son on Sunday night for the first time, as fans of scare nights I would say we are reasonably hard to please. This was without doubt the scariest we have been to! The setting is obviously great for this sort of thing, but more than that it was all really well thought out and executed, we liked having 'The Signal' narrative, the actors were all brilliant especially the butcher, the doctor, the photographer and the clown. Loads of jump scares, lots of great ideas and good memories made. Well done to the organisers, great job and great value for money!

Went on Halloween night and had the best night!! We like to go and visit lots of scare mazes so we can be quite difficult to scare. Every single actor was absolutely brilliant and this did spook us a bit. The fact its in a old bunker adds so much to it!! The equipment around, the old smell of the place and even the fact its in the middle of a field. All very creepy! The storyline is also really well thought out about the signal.

If you've been to Tulleys farm this is easily on par with there and that place is absolutely incredible!!! A must visit if you like a scare, don't miss out. Way better than Trinity Scares which is a baby to this. Also Better than Fright nights at Thorpe Park

This place is now a place I will visit every year. Honestly incredible!!

It was okay. Some scenes felt pointless and the characters got quite sloppy the more we moved on in the game (although it was 9pm by then so they could’ve just been tired). My favourite part was the clown because he made us laugh. I think if he dressed up as Pennywise it would be more scary as opposed to funny‼️

The scene set ups were quite good, but honestly after about 3-4 rooms, it became very predictable. There were a couple of rooms where I really felt they could’ve done more to heighten guest experience (which didn’t involve actors jumping out). Sometimes good visuals, scene planning and a good script goes a long way!

Would I pay £30 to visit next year? No. Did I have a good time because I went with a great bunch of people? Yes.

This event is amazing and very underrated, you get immersed as soon as it starts and the actors keep you engaged from the beginning to the finish. I don't want to give to much away but if you are looking for a scary night out in a scary location then you already know where to book.
Don't let the signal get the better of you though, Don't say I didn't warn you. 🙂

Very educational but slightly depressing subject. Amazing to see how technology has progressed since the end of the cold war. Also amazing to watch the propaganda films and wonder how the UK government could have been so naive ... paint your windows white and you'll survive a nuclear blast! The guy commentating the audio tour is far more realistic and regularly comments that you would have died!

Value for money and worth visiting.

Went there this evening, 31st October.knew it would be quite busy as its halloween but never expected what we dealt with tonight. So got there got a coffee whilst we waited for our time slot to queue and go in(time slot was 8.30-9)
When it was our time we started queuing and waited roughly about 10 minutes in the queue for them to scan our tickets
The actors that were entertaining us all whilst we waited were pretty good. Then once we got to the front where they scanned our tickets, we then got given a leaflet with what to do and what to expect and our group number which was h4, ( there was only me and my husband, so we knew we would be going in with others which wasn't a problem. We then got told to go throufh this tent and they said once your in there's no going back so go toilet etc before you queue to go in. We then stood in this tent for an hour !! Waiting and waiting, there was so many people, it was so hot in there,(thankfully someone told a staff member who then opened the window flaps for a bit of air for us all. So at this point we were thinking it better be worth this wait and that it wasn't organised right. So skip the hour, got to near the front and one staff member see us all still waiting and must have said something to the other staff members at the starting point of the experience as suddenly it moved a little quicker. One staff member shouted is there two people so a couple of girls in front of us said yes and they went forward with this other group(bearing in mind they had the same group number as us so at this point we knew they messed it all up so it was whoever totals 8 out of the people in the line went through. At this point it was 9.25 so it was running 25 minutes late. after this we finally went to the start of the experience. Can't fault the actors as they all played their part well but to us it wasn't enough scare parts and if you were at the back of the group as we were most of the time .the front of the group always got spooked and we missed it every time! We thought oh someone should be coming out from behind us to scare the ones at the back of the group, oh no nothing, so we wasn't happy and were very deflated
To top it off we nearly caught up with tne group ahead and the group behind us kept catching up which ruins the experience for them as they know what's coming. As a whole, very disappointed and not worth the money we paid at all, we will stick to trinity scares in ipswich as that is so much better as they make sure the whole group is involved front and back of the group
Such a shame as it's a massive place and they could do so much more to make it better and be much more organised as it wasn't at all

Visited 20/10 as a group of 3. Having visited last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. This year… when they say they’ve upped the scares they mean it. Having done 8 different scare events this season, Bunker Below holds the strongest scares I’ve come across in any attraction for Halloween, not just this year but for multiple years. Genuinely had me leaping and screaming at the top of my voice and I don’t scare easily. We was also just the 3 of us which made it even better. I would happily have done it totally alone too given the chance ?

I’ve always had an interest in the design side of these sorts of attractions and would love to be involved in one, one day. Bunker Below is such an incredible design and I can imagine talking with the creative team behind it would be absolutely brilliant.

Definitely will be returning next year. An absolute must for the calendar, if you only do one Halloween event this year, this is the one.
