Visit Newbury’s Psycho Path Pub Trail returns to Newbury

The Newbury Business Improvement District (BID) – the organisation behind Visit Newbury – has unveiled a unique Hallowe’en experience for adults only.

On Friday, October 27, The Psychopath Pub Crawl will transform five central Newbury pubs into realms of fright and delight.

The free event includes some of the town’s most popular watering holes from Slug & Lettuce, The Newbury, The Catherine Wheel, The Old Waggon & Horses and The Lock Stock & Barrel.

Attendees can expect to be captivated by actors portraying beloved characters such as Snow White, Belle, Jack and Sally, Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter, immersing them in a world filled with dramatic flair.

Pub trail participants should make their way to Newbury town centre at 7pm on October 27.

Each pub will be home to spooktakular scenes from infamous horror movies – providing plenty of selfie opportunities.

These will include the iconic Psycho shower scene by Alfred Hitchcock, a handcrafted electric chair reminiscent of The Green Mile and a macabre assortment of lifelike human body parts that Sweeny Todd would be proud of.

Participating venues will be marked enabling participants to plot their spooky route with ease – and dressing up is also encouraged.

Operations manager at Newbury BID Alison Drummond said: “Hallowe’en seems to be getting bigger and better every year, and we want to live up to expectations with our latest Psycho Path Pub Trail which we first launched last year and was a huge success.

“If you’re planning to host your own Hallowe’en gathering, why not bring the festivities to the town centre instead?”
