Smart staff scheduling software built for busy teams.
When it comes to large-scale immersive experiences, few do it quite like Tulleys Entertainment Group. From the family favourite Tulley’s Pumpkins and its after-dark sibling Pumpkin Nights, to the legendary Shocktober Fest, Europe's largest screampark, Tulleys delivers unforgettable events that draw in over three-quarters of a million visitors every year.
“Running events on the scale that we do means everything has to click into place perfectly and staffing is a huge part of this. Shiftie’s given us the control and visibility we needed to keep everything running smoothly, even at our busiest times.”
Sam Beare, Director, Tulleys Entertainment Group
Behind the pumpkins, pyrotechnics and production magic is a team of thousands of seasonal staff, all needing to be scheduled, communicated with, and managed across multiple event sites. Before adopting Shiftie, Tulleys relied on spreadsheets to manage shifts. There was no real-time visibility, meaning changes or updates had to be emailed or messaged manually. Managers spent valuable hours building and updating rotas instead of focusing on delivering world-class experiences.
“Before Shiftie, we were juggling spreadsheets, messages and last-minute changes, it was hard to keep everyone on the same page. Now, the whole team can see updates instantly, wherever they are.”
That’s where Shiftie’s staff scheduling software stepped in to help.

Smarter Scheduling for Complex Events
With Shiftie, Tulleys now manages its entire workforce from one easy-to-use online platform. Managers can build rotas, allocate shifts, approve leave, and communicate instantly, saving countless hours of admin time and ensuring every event runs like clockwork.
Event staff can:
- View rotas in real time, with instant updates to any shift changes.

- Swap shifts or book time off through the app.
- Work across multiple locations such as Tulleys Pumpkins, Pumpkin Nights, and Shocktober Fest.
