Halloween FAQ

When is Halloween 2026 in the UK?
Halloween falls on Friday 31 October 2026. Many events in cities like Cardiff run across the full last weekend of October, so it is worth booking a few days either side too.
What Halloween events are on in Cardiff?
Halloween in Cardiff typically includes haunted walking tours of the castle quarter, themed club nights in the city centre, and family-friendly pumpkin trails in local parks. Check listings early as popular events sell out fast.
Are there Halloween events for kids in Cardiff?
The self-guided audio tour works for families, since you set the pace and can stop whenever you want. Check the age note on the event page. Guided evening ghost walks are aimed at adults.
How far in advance should I book Halloween tickets?
For popular Halloween events in the UK, booking two to three weeks ahead is sensible. Haunted experiences and themed dining nights in Cardiff and other cities often sell out in early October.
Do I need a costume to attend Halloween events?

What types of Halloween experiences are there beyond haunted houses?

Halloween in Cardiff

Halloween Cardiff has a quietly eerie side. The audio tour through Llandaff Cathedral Close lets you explore centuries of Cardiff history after dark, at your own pace, with no tour group to slow you down. It is one of the most accessible Halloween Cardiff experiences for adults and families alike.

If you want to travel further afield, the wider region delivers. Bristol ghost tours, Bath guided walks, and Birmingham ghost hunts are all bookable from Cardiff for a full Halloween weekend. Oxford's candlelight concerts offer a warmer, less frightening option that still fits the season perfectly.
