Halloween Events in London

Halloween at Fortnum Mason

Take your little witches and wizards down to the famous Piccadilly store for a day of Pumpkin Carving. Train them well and you’ll win a voucher for four people at the Parlour restaurant. There is a separate adult competition; the prize for that is a meal for four at the Fountain restaurant.

Halloween at St James’ Park

More pumpkin carving, well, it does only happen once a year, guided tours about legends of ghosts and ghoulies around London and the Halloween Farmers Market. All taking place in St James’ Park over the weekend. More details here.

Halloween at the London Eye

Family friendly show from 18 October to 2 November. With a story about Wizard Belvedere, the Guardian of London town who keeps everyone in London safe from dark forces. More details.

Last Tuesday Society

This is one of my favourite events companies in London. The events they put on are always in great locations. I went to one a few weeks ago just off The Strand, which went down and down and down in this tiny little space until you reached a huge room with big arches, women dressed in beautiful ball gowns and men in top hats and tails. The image used in this article is courtesy of this lovely company.

This is a new venue for me, near Borough. I’m sure it will be great fun. More details here.

Lost Souls Halloween Party at The London Aquarium

A darkened aquarium, Pirates of the Caribbean theme, sharks and fishies lurking in corners along with sets from London DJs Steven Geller and Danny Wakeling. More details here.

Dance of the Dead Street Parade

If you fancy more of a traditional approach to your Halloween antics, try this one. Gather in Hoxton Square in suitable Halloween attire and you will be lead along a trail of inevitable trick or treating. A big party in a secret location will be waiting for you by the time you get to Dalston. More details.

Torture Garden Halloween Special at London Bridge

Not for the faint hearted. Go dressed in a suit. You’ll get very funny looks. More details here.
