This post is currently being updated so please come back as I will be updating regularly
A few years ago when we did our Halloween Half term guide, we had lots of messages regarding non Halloween events. We have had some messages asking for those again so I thought I would put together a blog post again for those looking for non Halloween themed events during October including Half Term.
I totally get that people are not crazy about Halloween in the UK, I personally love Halloween but as the boys get older I find that they are not that interested in attending scare events and parties anymore. Elliot, our youngest who is now 12 has never liked anything scary, so for Halloween every year we watch family friendly Halloween movies and carve pumpkins and do some Halloween inspired crafts that is about his limit!
Here are the events I found that have no involvement with Halloween. Please double check each event before you attend as some attractions are hosting multiple events on the day, some with a Halloween theme some without.
