Halloween in Bristol 2024
When the 31 October descends, the vampires, zombies and witches of the city come out to play. But just where do they go? Halloween this year falls on a Tuesday, so expect lots of events taking part over the weekend prior. From haunted walks and eerie spirits to pumpkin carving, Bristol has something to thrill everyone this All Hallows' Eve.
Psst, we take no responsibility for the nightmares or sleepless nights you may experience.
Pumpkin Patch at Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park
Roam through the massive pumpkin patch and select the one you want at Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park. If you do not wish to purchase a pumpkin, you can use it as a backdrop for a family photograph or your Instagram grid. There are many autumnal treats and warming drinks to keep you going while you enjoy fair rides, games and even pumpkin paintball.
Pre-booking is essential, as it sells out every year. The 2024 dates run until 31 October 2024 between 10am and 5pm. There is also free parking. The event is suitable for all ages. Tickets are discounted when pre-booking online.
FEAR at Avon Valley Scream Park
FEAR Scream Park is home to 5 terrifying scare attractions. The 20243 season opens in October for 13 terrifying nights of frights! The thrilling rides include X4, VITA NOVA and The Core, plus you can take part in an exorcism. There's also a fire show and street entertainment. Tickets start from £25 per person.
Treasure Island Story Walk
Did you know that Bristol is where Long John Silver ran a pub called The Spyglass? Bristol is full of hidden spy holes, dark secrets and dirty deeds. Hear the story from where it all began – Bristol Docks.
As well as the history of piracy in Bristol, The Show of Strength Theatre Company has also promised lots of terrible pirate jokes. They’ll bring along Ted, the fact-checking parrot, too, to make sure the pirate gets the story straight. The walking event is suitable for those aged 8 and over.
Halloween Night Haunted Walking Tour
What could be more fitting than embarking on the Haunted and Hidden Bristol Walking Tour at Halloween?! The tour reveals the darker side to Bristol’s history. Hear about Clifton’s ghostly Dwarf Highwayman, see a haunted cinema, visit a 16th-century haunted house and other supernatural goings-on.
As seen on "Most Haunted", this fun 90-minute walk combines haunted buildings plus TV and film locations. They run every Friday night at 8pm or private walks can also be arranged. Pre-booking is essential and costs £7 per person.
Woeful Wounds at Brunel’s SS Great Britain
This October half term, experience the magic of special effect make-up and receive your very own Woeful Wound. The tea will create cuts and blisters that the galley crew would have suffered during their time working in the kitchen at sea on children. So, step aboard – if you dare!
The trial is included with admission to Brunel’s SS Great Britain over the October half term. Adult tickets are £22 per person, children aged 5-16 are £13.50 and under 4's are free.
