Halloween Events in Bristol
Halloween in Bristol is always fun, so why should this year be any different. Whether you are looking for family-friendly Halloween activities or something a little more suited to adults, there are many events taking place in Bristol.
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.
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 also use it as a backdrop for a family photograph or for your grid on Instagram. There are lots of autumnal treats and warming drinks to keep you going whilst you enjoy fair rides, games and even pumpkin paintball.

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.
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.
