Perhaps a clue to its possible location might be found in the sources we have for the legend of King Arthur. Did he exist and if so, who was he? Was he perhaps a Romano-Celtic leader defending his lands from Anglo-Saxon invaders? The Camelot Group is the operator of the UK National Lottery whose current franchise period started in 2009 and runs until February 2024.

The iconic theme park will open its doors for the first time in years in February as an apocalypse experience takes over its Chorley grounds, teeming with zombies and monsters. The Lancelot-Grail cycle and the texts it influenced depict the city of Camelot as standing along a river, downstream from Astolat. It is surrounded by plains and forests, and its magnificent cathedral, St. Stephen's, originally established by Josephus, the son of Joseph of Arimathea, [12] is the religious centre for Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. There, Arthur and Guinevere are married and there are the tombs of many kings and knights. In a mighty castle stands the Round Table, created by Merlin and Uther Pendragon; it is here that Galahad conquers the Siege Perilous, and where the knights see a vision of the Holy Grail and swear to find it. Jousts are often held in a meadow outside the city. Camelot lends its name to the musical Camelot, which was adapted into a film of the same title, featuring the Castle of Coca, Segovia as Camelot.

This is a significant risk and represents a major investment in the area." At its height the attraction which opened in 1983 would see half a million visitors a year. Sadly, those numbers fell in later years and in 2012, the once vibrant, family orientated theme park closed for good. In a stroke of mad genius, Scare City has dug the beloved Lancashire resort from the ashes and brought life into its overgrown ruins, albeit the flesh-eating kind. The result is the world’s longest outdoor horror attraction, and its doors are open until the middle of November.

Coincidentally, these are all traits that the legendary Arthur was supposed to possess: a successful warrior leading his people against invaders and at the same time, a wise and gracious leader.
