Sure, trick-or-treating is a strong staple of Halloween fun for kids. But the second-most fun holiday of the year (after Christmas, of course) has so much more to offer than working out who’s the most generous sweets-giver in the neighbourhood.

Handily, Halloween this year falls slap bang in the middle of the school half-term, meaning you and the family can really make the most of the city’s spooky, child-friendly events on either side of October 31.

From pumpkin picking to scary movies, there are loads of wicked things to do for them this week. Happy Halloween!

Dark Arts season at the Harry Potter Studios

Warner Bros Studios’ blockbuster Harry Potter exhibition has undergone a spooky makeover from now until mid-November as its Dark Arts theme returns. Most spectacularly, the Great Hall is filled with a hundred flickering, flying jack-o’-lanterns – aka Instagram heaven. Elsewhere there’s a special limited edition passport, plus Death Eaters galore: wandering around looking menacing, but also with interesting demonstrations of everything from their wand stance, their choreography and their costumes.

Spooky season is almost here! Get your tickets and join the fun at Phantom Peak, where the town is celebrating the Lunar Festival. Ghosts and ghouls have taken over, bringing playful scares and fun for everyone! After the summer’s exciting Cabin Games, Phantom Peak is back with thrilling adventures, new spooky mysteries to solve, and a delicious themed menu to enjoy. With ten new trails to explore, it's a season full of tricks, treats, and family-friendly fun!

How about Halloween fun for adults?
