Two Halloween experiences. One supportive Bendigo community.

This Halloween, Amegilla Community Hub Hall will transform into two very different haunted-house experiences, giving more people the chance to enjoy Halloween in the way that feels right for them.

Hosted by Paw & People Supports, with the haunted house created and run by Spirited Dolly, this is an inclusive community event supporting neurodivergent families and Amegilla Community Hub.

Lights On: Family and Sensory Session

2:00 pm | $15 per child

The lights stay on and the scares stay away.

This calm, non-scary walkthrough has been created for children, families and anyone who would enjoy a gentler Halloween experience. Explore the dolls, decorations and haunted-house atmosphere at a comfortable pace, without the frightening surprises of the evening session.

• Calm, non-scary walkthrough

• Sensory-friendly approach

• Children and families welcome

• Wheelchair accessible

Spirited Dolly After Dark

8:30 pm | Strictly 18+ | $35 per person

When darkness falls, the experience changes completely.

After Dark is an intense adult haunted-house experience created to frighten you, raise your adrenaline and leave you wondering what is waiting around the next corner.

Expect an unsettling atmosphere, creepy dolls and scares designed for those who want Halloween with the lights firmly switched off.

• Strictly for guests aged 18 and over

• Designed to frighten

• Inclusive and wheelchair friendly

• $35 per person

• Limited tickets available

The daytime and After Dark experiences are separate sessions. Please select the correct ticket when booking.

Meet Melissa: Medium, Psychic & Tarot Reader

A little curiosity. Thirty minutes with Melissa. A Halloween experience that could leave you with goosebumps.

Previously featured as a psychic on Kyneton radio, Melissa brings her experience as a medium and tarot reader to our Halloween gathering for a limited series of individual readings.

Accuracy is central to Melissa’s approach. Whether you are familiar with readings or curious to experience your first, this is your opportunity to sit down with her for a dedicated 30-minute session and explore the intriguing world of mediumship and tarot.

Just 12 appointment times across the day. Choose yours and make Melissa part of your Halloween.

Saturday 31 October | 2:00 pm–8:00 pm | 30 minutes | $45 + $3.07 booking fee ($48.07 total)

Bookings essential. One booking per appointment. Select a “Melissa Medium & Tarot Reading” ticket for your preferred time. The final appointment is 7:30–8:00 pm. Readings are booked separately from the haunted-house walkthroughs.

More Than a Haunted House

Alongside the two haunted-house experiences, guests can enjoy a community Halloween gathering featuring local stalls and tarot readings with Melissa. Participating traders and food offerings will be announced as bookings are confirmed.

What makes this event special is the choice it provides. Children and families can experience Halloween without being overwhelmed, while adults can return after dark for an entirely different level of fear.

Whether you prefer the lights left on or you are ready to face what waits in the dark, there is a place for you.
