Belfast

London
The London Dungeon – 1st October – 1st November
Halloween lasts all month long at the London Dungeon. Join The Witch Hunt as you venture into the Witchfinder’s Den and go in search of those suspected of practising the dark arts … Base yourselves at one of our nearby hotels.
Warwick
Warwick Castle – 22nd – 31st October
With wicked witches, Horrible Histories and the spectacular fire joust, WarwIck Castle is the perfect Halloween spookfest. And they really turn up the terror after dark. Afterwards, head back to the nearby Holiday Inn Express Warwick – Stratford-upon-Avon.
Somerset
Wookey Hole – 22nd – 30th October
Venture into the world-famous caves and you’ll need to be on the look-out for some ghastly ghouls and ghosts. Back above ground, there’s the Halloween Circus Show and prizes for the best Halloween costumes! One of our Bristol hotels would make a perfect family base for the trip.
Edinburgh
Spooky Time in the Museum – 29th October
This free Halloween event is a great family outing at Edinburgh’s Museum of Childhood. It’s a chance for the kids to get creative and paint glow-in-the-dark skeletons and more. Stay at the one of our many Edinburgh hotels in the city and make a great weekend of it.
