The nights are getting longer (just) and the days are getting shorter, and we’re already thinking ahead to Halloween.

This celebration is becoming more and more popular in the UK as events are popping up all over the place. 

If you have spooky tendencies and are looking to put on a fun event, then we’ve come up with some ideas to help you. Whether you are a venue looking to cash in, a event’s company or a town wanted to put on a community event, we’ve got plenty of ideas.

Halloween Ball

Everyone loves a party, so why not host your own Halloween event. Make it fancy dress, or theme it, vampires & werewolves, monsters or zombies. There are endless possibilities to theme the food, the music, the décor, even the entertainment.

Drive in Scary Movie

Everyone loves a scary movie, so what would be better than hosting a scary movie drive in. Better than an open air in case the weather is off but still bringing that Halloween feel.

Scarecrow Festival

Again, not strictly Halloween but very in season. Get local businesses or residents to put scarecrows on display and organise a trail. Or host it at a local farm and have warm apple cider, apple bobbing and pumpkin carving as well. Maybe a stage with some acoustic music and some kids activities.

Zombie Run & Party

Organise a fun run where everyone has to dress up as Zombies. Finish off with a party in the park for the participants.

Day of the Dead Festival

Traditionally a Mexican holiday, it’s becoming increasingly popular due to its very recognisable face paint associated with it. Why not host a celebration themed around this, with a parade and music.
