Phil Verbinnen, Park Director at Oakwood said: “We are extremely proud to be shortlisted for the 3rd time for a SCAR Award. After missing out on Spooktacular 2020 due to Welsh Government covid-19 firebreak restrictions, we were thrilled to be able to offer and recognised by industry experts for Spooktacular once again. Delivering guests fun, hair-raising thrills and scares.”
“We are up against some very good and well-established attractions for the award so the competition will be tough again this year, but we are excited to have Spooktacular alongside those names. The feedback we have received for Spooktacular has been very positive and we are immensely proud of what we have achieved with this event.”
