Route 666, which was itself intended to be a replacement for the regular PrimEVIL event held in October, is no longer going to run following the tightening of social distancing rules announced on September 22.
Ben Francis, PrimEVIL’s development manager, said: “It is with regret that our PrimEVIL event - Route 666 has now been cancelled, due to the current increase in Covid-19 cases and the government’s updated Covid-19 restrictions.

Route 666 would have taken place at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure in Lenwade from October 9 to November 1.
The idea was inspired by America’s long-distance Route 66, also known as the main Street of America.
Organisers said Route 666 would have offered: “A long and lonesome road where tradition and legend bring out of the ordinary experiences, guests can expect to be spooked by zombies, clowns and things that bite.”
