Halloween in London
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, 31 October 2026, so London gets two weekends of it. Parties start the Friday before and run to the night itself. The big club nights sell tickets weeks ahead. The rest is smaller and later to announce. A horror screening in a church, a costume rave in a warehouse, a dinner with a theme. Those go on the map as organisers drop them.
Halloween drops in London
Updated 6 Oct, 17:20
Nothing for Halloween is on the public list yet. Most Halloween nights go on in the last two weeks of October, and smaller ones only days ahead. This page fills as they're dropped. Until then, the map has what's on now.
The dates this year
Halloween is Saturday 31 October 2026. Expect parties on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October, Friday 30 October and the night itself. The clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, so that Saturday night gets an extra hour.
This page lists drops from 23 October to 1 November. It stays up all year.
What's on
- Costume club nights and raves. The biggest part of Halloween in London. Many have a dress code; some won't let you in without a costume. See raves and club nights.
- Screenings. Horror films in unusual rooms, sometimes with a live score.
- Dinners. Themed supper clubs, often sealed until the day. See supper clubs.
- Something calmer. Ghost walks, late openings and talks, for people who'd rather not wear a costume.
Tips
- Get tickets early for the big nights. The best-value tiers go first.
- Check the dress code. "Costume required" means it.
- Plan the route home. Friday and Saturday have the Night Tube; the clocks going back on the 25th gives you an hour.
