An annual series of events across London exploring our fascination with and relationship to death and the arts. Expect tours of cemeteries and East End undertakers, storytelling walks by torchlight, seances and workshops – including how to preserve moths and how to set bat skeletons. Events tend to sell out quickly, so book well in advance.

Parties and club nights

Warehouse of Horrors

This huge Halloween party is on until 2am, well past the witching hour. Dance your way through the night to live music and DJs, be wowed by stunning aerial and circus performers, and get involved with some scarily silly fun and games. There are prizes for the best fancy dress so go large.

Day of the Ted party

It’s all the fun of the fair at Fairgame, with an additional spooky spin on your favourite fairground games. There will be Halloween costume competitions, DJ sets and live performances – plus a couple of spine-tingling surprises. Tickets include a welcome cocktail to get the party started.

Halloween roller disco

Skate your way through the hauntingly decorated Big Penny Social event space to DJs spinning classic Halloween hits and party anthems, then chill out in their beer hall to catch your breath. Don’t forget your spooky costumes – though be careful not to get your zombie bandages caught in your skates!

Halloween at the Museum
