Ghostly Goings on at Holiday Parks this Halloween

Ghostly goings on at holiday parks this halloween

Don't stay home and watch scary movies when you can enchant yourself in the magic of a holiday park!

After the busy summer holidays end and the kids have gone back to school for a couple of weeks, suddenly the leaves have turned orange and half-term is already knocking on your door… thankfully, many holiday parks have a fantastic line up of spooky activities to keep you and your little monsters entertained this Halloween – because nothing is scarier than not making the most out of the holiday season.

From as early as the 1st of October, holiday parks and resorts begin hosting a diverse range of halloween-themed activities for all ages, on top of being great places to enjoy time away with your loved-ones.

Live Entertainment, Diners, and Discos

Parks often do live shows and performances throughout the year, but they go all out in the spooky season – decorations, actors and entertainers in costume, and even fire breathers in certain places! Parks and resorts will also host themed discos and dances, so the whole family can dress up and enjoy a night of dancing, family games, and scary-good food and drink. There are also themed dinner shows if you’d like to enjoy a more laid-back event with great food, and even better amusements. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of an immersive party and getting lost in your own world, you might be lucky enough to stay somewhere that is hosting a silent disco.

Arts and Crafts, and Activities

All the usual activities get a Halloween upgrade, whether that is on-theme pottery painting, making weird and wonderful creations, even spookier sensory slime making for the youngest ones, scavenger hunts that offer a little bit more adventure, and, of course, pumpkin carving, where the whole family can showcase their artistic skill. For some unguided arts and crafts time, focus your skills on creating a unique fancy dress costume, as there will likely be a best costume competition.

Local Autumnal Activities

Finally, a getaway in any one of these parks is guaranteed to be surrounded by stunning nature and scenery. Whether that’s a sandy beach, endless rolling fields, or an enchanted forest, all are perfect for galivanting around in the chillier months, imagining yourself in an old gothic tale, telling ghost stories around a picnic, or even going ghost hunting in the nearest castle or ruins. Visit the nearby hamlet, village, or town, to admire historical architecture, and find independent shops with various curiosities.
