Tricks, Treats & Terrifyingly Good Times

Blog
#CityGuide
As the leaves turn crimson and the air takes on a chilling edge, it can only mean one thing - Halloween is drawing near! The anticipation is building, the decorations will soon be going up, and we're thrilled to give you this list of spooky events taking place in some of our cities this October! No matter which destination, prepare to be immersed in a world of wonder and spookiness, where each step brings you closer to an unforgettable night of thrills and chills.

GLASGOW'S GHOSTS 

Lighting up the city's Botanic Gardens since 2018, one of the UK's biggest Halloween events GlasGLOW is back! This Halloween season, the doors to 10 epic realms will open - it's time to trick or treat. Knock knock… if you dare. So, book a stay at our luxurious Apex City of Glasgow Hotel, arm the kids, get ready, set, glow! Early-bird tickets on sale now - event runs from 25 October to 10 November.

BLOODY BATH

Dare to don Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein this October...? After two sell-outs, After Dark: Nights To Die For returns to this spooky attraction with an even scarier theme and more extreme psychological thrills than before! Immerse yourself in a five story multi-sensory horror house with live actors, special effects and soundscapes between 18:00 and 22:30 every evening from the 11 - 31 October. Want to ramp up the terror? Why not try one of the house's very own escape rooms to see if you can free yourself from Frankenstein in just one hour! Don't worry, the rooms at our Apex City of Bath Hotel aren't as scary, and we promise you don't need to solve any puzzles to get out!

A little too scary for your little terrors? There's always Avon Valley's pumpkin patch nights featuring a pop-up bar, fire pits, performers and spectacular entertainment throughout almost the whole month of October!  

EERIE EDINBURGH 

Not all Halloween events happen in the dark...Go wondering in the spooky city with an interactive morning adventure for families as part of The Edinburgh Horror Festival! Take your kids on The Halloween Terror Trail at Lauriston Castle where they'll stumble across magical wizards, awesome arts and crafts plus ghoulish story tellers between 10:00 and 13:00 on 29 October.

And enjoy a dreamy night's sleep after a fun-filled day when you book to stay at one of our 4-star hotels in Edinburgh's city centre afterwards!

LONDON DUNGEON

The London Dungeon is frightening enough at the best of times, but as the horror of Halloween nears, the prisoners start to plan even more heart-pounding surprises for their visitors! 

Or, if you're typically a rollercoaster thrill-seeker, take a trip out of the city centre and buckle up for Thorpe Park's Fright Nights! Prepare to be horrified as you navigate your way through the scare zones and shows that'll haunt you in your sleep forever, and level up the exhilaration with rides in the dark when nighttime descends. If you're lucky enough to survive, travel back to the safety and comfort of one of our warming hotels in the heart of London.

DARING DUNDEE

Learn more about Dundee's dark history with Dark Dundee, one of the city's best tour companies whose passionate storytellers will take you on immersive and captivating walking tours. Consider yourself a thrill seeker? Uncover the dark secrets that lie beneath the city's surface, then get ready to relax and unwind at Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa afterwards - it's the perfect combination.

Brace yourself for nightmarish adventures that'll leave you trembling with fear and excitement!
