Heywood's FIRST and only Horror Convemtion
A horror con with community at heart
We started Horrorwood because we wanted to bring all the fun of the big city, big ticket events to our hometown, and we KNEW there was a whole horde of horror loving legends, hiding in the shadows that were itching for an event that tailored to them and their interests. And so, Horrorwood was born! Back for it's second year on April 13th 2025, this time wer'e bringing even MORE traders, MORE cosplay groups and even a Horror Movie Showcase! You won't find a more jam packed event in the local area at such an affordable price.
Why Choose Us?
Because we care. We care about the genre, it's fans and all the things that entails. We care that you get a good experience without any hassle and we we care that families can afford a good day out locally without breaking the bank. We can't promise you big A list stars, but what we can promise is that every aspect of the convention is lovingly designed to be as good as it can be and for fans of Horror, macabre and spooky stuff - you will find a home at Horrowood!
