Hallowe'en in the UK

Hallowe'en is widely celebrated in the UK.  In London this year (2025), there are the Ghost Bus Tours.  These leave from 8 Northumberland Avenue near Trafalgar Square at 6pm, 730pm and 9pm.  There is a hilarious horror show on board played by actors - all while looking at the London sites!  As well, there is always the London Dungeon to walk through where you can see all the tortures of the past.  And do not forget the Jack the Ripper walk in London's east end. At Hallowe'en, the tour leaves at 330 and 6pm from Tower Hill Underground station. 

Outside of London, Kew Gardens is celebrating Hallowe'en. Certain castles have special events such as Warwick Castle and Nottingham Castle which is featuring a Hallowe'en Tea.  The theme parks love Hallowe'en and people flock to them at this time of year.  Those of note are Alton Towers, Crealy (which has a spook fest) and Thorpe Park which is loved by adolescents and families. There is Newsham scream park in Liverpool, a maze in York and Blenheim Palace has a spooky trail and afternoon tea..

In Wales, Cardiff has a Hallowe'en festival with many events going on.  And Edinburgh is a perfect spot for Hallowe'en with their Dungeon walk and their particular gruesome history stories to tell.  
Northern Ireland has many events as well.  In Derry, there will be parades and street performances.  There is a Witches and Ghosts coast taxi tour in Carrickfergus and particular seasonal themes all over Northern Ireland. Of note are events in Ballycastle, Lisburn, Armagh and Belfast.  Go to discovernorthernireland.com for more information.
