Northern Frights, the Aberdeenshire-based horror, fantasy, and immersive events company, is causing a stir in the local community and beyond with its unique and inclusive events. The company offers a range of immersive experiences, from children’s zombie survival days to large-scale conventions and festivals, with plans to expand its offerings and establish itself further across Scotland.
Founder Laura Ripley, who is neurodivergent, wanted to create events that catered to individuals who may need safe, quiet spaces during events. Northern Frights’ events include these safe spaces to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and welcome. In addition to this, the company actively invests in the local community by working with local companies and venues and sources local suppliers wherever possible.
Northern Frights’ events are not only inclusive and sustainable but also seriously fun. Horror Con Scotland, now entering its second year, has been a resounding success, expanding to four venues across Scotland in 2024 – Aberdeenshire, Dundee, Inverness, and their largest event at the SEC in Glasgow. The company has partnered with various venues across Scotland to bring amazing events to attendees, including a prison escape experience in Peterhead Prison Museum and a collaboration with the Aberdeen Science Centre for the Aberdeen Sci-Fi day.
But what sets Northern Frights apart from other events companies is its commitment to sustainability. The company plants trees in the Scottish Highlands for every event where they use paper and minimizes its environmental impact wherever possible. Furthermore, Northern Frights supports local charities by organizing fundraising efforts and engaging in local community events and initiatives.
And let’s not forget about the dragons! Northern Frights has its very own fire-breathing beasts that will leave attendees spellbound.
With its focus on inclusion, sustainability, and fun, Northern Frights is becoming a leading events company in Scotland. Don’t miss out on their upcoming events!
