Halloween Events between Bristol and London

As we enter the cold seasons, it can only mean that Halloween is just around the corner! Along the Great West Way, there are plenty of spooky-filled activities and thrilling events taking place throughout the month of October…

Halloween at Blenheim Palace

There's a chill in the air at Blenheim Palace this Halloween... When darkness falls, you're in for a scare this Autumn.  Experience the spooktacular dusk to darkness light trail, that gets scarier as the night gets darker. Creep along early with little ones, stalk through the shadows later with bigger kids and there are some serious scares for adults too!

American Halloween, American Museum & Gardens

Join others at American Museum & Gardens throughout October half term for a classic American Halloween atmosphere and exciting outdoor and indoor trails, with fun activities every day. Visit on Halloween day itself for trick or treating and costume parades in our beautiful autumnal gardens.

After Dark – Nights to Die For at Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein

This Halloween, Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein has heightened the intensity of its notorious horror event, ‘After Dark - nights to die for.' In this psychologically disturbing, multi-sensory experience, visitors will be immersed in disorientating darkness, isolation and confinement, and encounter new special effects, mazes, crawl spaces, and live actors throughout. 

Halloween at Cheddar Gorge & Caves

Join in the Halloween family fun this October Half-Term at Cheddar Gorge & Caves. Running from 26th October – 3rd November 2024, Cheddar Gorge are hosting a fun and ‘spooktacular’ skeleton trail and Halloween themed party.

Cheddar Man, the resident skeleton who lives in Gough’s Cave has invited his skeleton friends to visit him this Halloween half-term and join a ‘spine-tingling’ party. To get an invite to the party, you must join the trail in Gough’s Cave. This is no ordinary skeleton trail as they have brought along their skeletal creature friends who you must find. Once you’ve found them all, you’ll gain entry to our fun ‘skele-brations’, where you’ll be rewarded with a Halloween badge and treated to themed party games and arts and crafts.

Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site

Located in Wiltshire, towards the centre of the Great West Way route, is the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site, home to the largest Stone Circle in the world!

Owned by English Heritage, Stonehenge is one of the most iconic landmarks visited along the Great West Way. Dating back to around 5,000 years, this pre-historic monument continues to elude many visitors around its mystery and breath-taking display each year.

40 minutes from Stonehenge is Avebury. Erected over 4,500 years ago and consisting of around 100 stones, this iconic Stone Circle is great for cold evening walks, or crisp mornings this season. And better yet, the entire landscape is owned by National Trust, meaning you can visit for free all year round!

Both landmarks are equally atmospheric during the Halloween period, with misty mornings making the stones a completely different experience this season!

Get up close and hands-on with real live animals at Bowood House & Gardens with their new event this season: 'Creepy Critters' workshop, hosted by ZooLab UK. Meet the likes of Snakes, Giant Snails, Tarantulas and more in this interactive show - the perfect addition to the spooky Halloween Holidays!
