Younger audiences can enjoy a scarily good party with DJ Oli & DJ Jay on 29 and 30 October, be quick to book this is sure to be busy.

Halloween fun doesn’t have to be just for the kids, Boom Battle Bar has adult nights out sorted with axe throwing, beer pong, and forget crazy this is crazier golf - find your fun!

DJ Spoony is bringing a night of classic garage and spooky house to the Winter Garden for Haunted House Halloween Party (2 Nov) from 7pm until LATE with VIP tickets available.

Family time ideas…

Sharnfold Farm has a frightfully fun day out this half term, with pre-booking discount available for early birds! Head to the farm trail to search for the missing scarecrows then take on the Halloween themed Maize Maze! After why not pick a pumpkin and get crafty –and the best part you can leave the mess behind for a perfect stress free pumpkin carving experience (extra charge).

For the ultimate half-term treat the Grand Hotel has a spook-tacular Halloween themed afternoon tea with enchanting treats and friendly frights. Enjoy delicious sweet treats, savoury snacks, and bewitching beverages. Child price available (up to the age of 12 years) when accompanied by at least 1 full paying adult.

Make the most of the shorter days, dig out the wellies and head down the miles of Eastbourne beach to go rock pool for mini sea creatures and fossil hunting. Check the tide times to maximise your chances of spotting sea-life in the thousands of rock pools. The steps by Pinnacle Point (also known locally as The Sugar Loaf) near the Holy Well spring bring you up to the foot of the South Downs Way, and the nearby Helen Garden park where you can grab a hot drink from the café.

Knockhatch have half-term horrors planned from 26 October until 3 November to make a visit to the family fun park even more frightfully good!

Shriek Week returns to Drusillas meet the spider experts (selected dates), experience Haunted Heights - a live action haunted house experience, grab photos across the park at the Halloween photo props and so much more.

Michelham Priory one of the UK’s most haunted buildings is open throughout the half term but it’s not all spooky there’s a delightful family adventure available to visitors, the Harvest Hunt is suitable for all ages to take a self-led activity trail around the stunning grounds and uncover the treasures of the season.
