Halloween is now just around the corner and this is always a fun time of the year and a way to embrace autumn.
So, what are a few fun activities to enjoy at Halloween this year?
You can get into the spirit of spooky season with the following activities that are suitable for people of all ages.
Pumpkin Picking
Instead of going to the supermarket to get your pumpkin this year, it is worth visiting a pumpkin picking patch which will allow you to choose your own pumpkin and get in the Halloween spirit.
This is the perfect autumnal event and a chance to spend some time outside – just make sure that you pick a dry day to visit!
Pumpkin Carving & Decorating
Following this, you will then want to carve your pumpkin and you can get plenty of inspiration and designs to copy online.
You can then decorate the rest of the house with Halloween decorations to set the mood and get everyone in the spooky spirit.
Trick or Treat
Trick or treat is becoming more popular in the UK and can be a fun way to get out, meet the neighbours and dress up – it is not just for kids either!
Halloween Movie Marathon
It would not be Halloween without watching a scary film and you could enjoy the day by watching several films (or spread watching horror films out over the entire month).
The options are endless for Halloween films to watch whether you want to watch the iconic horror films, new horror films or films that are Halloween-themed but not too scary (for those that are not a big fan/young audiences).
Ghost Walk
Many cities have ghost walks that allow you to discover the darker side of the city’s history and this can be an exciting yet eerie experience around this time of the year.
The majority also end in a cosy pub – the perfect end to this type of experience!
Try a Bonfire Night
This is also the perfect time of year for a bonfire and it can be a great activity to enjoy with a few friends.
Just make sure that you are permitted to have a bonfire in the area you live before you start burning things!
Visit a Haunted House
Visiting a haunted house with a few friends will always get you in the mood for Halloween.
Haunted houses will both have you in fits of laughter as well as genuinely spooked at times, so they are a unique experience and a great activity to enjoy with friends.
This post should give you a few ideas for ways to spend Halloween this year that will help you to get in the spirit of things and embrace the autumn.
