When the sun sets, the Nightmare Harvest begins!

 

This year’s Workhouse Haunt immerses guests through a highly-themed walk-through experience, as creepy characters deliver contactless scares in multiple scenes. Guests will travel in small groups for a frightening experience that brings them next to abandoned, historic buildings where they will encounter terrifying characters and sights that are not for the faint of heart. 


We are proud to bring live music to the patrons of Nightmare Harvest. Please see the band schedule below:


November 5th: The Badlands


The Workhouse Arts Center is pleased to partner with the Lorton Community Action Center throughout October to collect food and hygiene products for those in need within the Lorton community. LCAC will be accepting non-perishable food items and is especially in need of cereal (hot or cold), canned soup, canned chicken and tuna, and pasta. They are also collecting hygiene-related and baby products including diapers & pull-ups, baby wipes, tampons, and pads. These donations support LCAC’s mission of enhancing the quality of life of residents of Southeast Fairfax County by providing food, basic needs, and self-sufficiency programs.
