Halloween is around the corner and Merlin’s brewing up some fun

The spooky season is almost over, but Merlin Entertainments still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Whether you’re after historical hauntings or family friendly scares, every guest can find their perfect fright at the UK’s best-loved attractions this Halloween.

Warwick Castle’s Halloween season delivers spine-tingling thrills and family-friendly frights from morning until dusk, with daytime guests exploring Haunted Hollows and the silent Scarecrow Disco while crossing paths with iconic characters like the Headless Horseman and mischievous Grave Diggers. As night falls, the castle shifts into a more sinister experience, offering three terrifying live shows for the brave alongside a full festival atmosphere in the courtyard, complete with DJs, live bands, circus acts, and stilt walkers. Daytime activities run from October 24th to November 1st, with After Dark experiences taking place on October 24th, 29th, 30th, and 31st.

SEA LIFE Tricks & Treats brings ocean themed family fun for kids aged four to 10 to SEA LIFE attractions across the UK on selected dates this autumn. Guests can help the resident sea sorcerers solve “spook-splash-tic” challenges and learn about the ocean’s “scary not scary” sea creatures, meet a Sea Witch or Warlock, visit a pumpkin patch, or join an immersive trail to track down the Sea Witch’s missing potion ingredients hidden among the tanks.

Join Freddo at Cadbury World this Halloween, from 17th October to 1st November for a spooktacular live stage show, packed with games, songs and spooky surprises. New for 2026, guests of all ages can also take part in a Trick or Treat gameshow experience, where they’ll have to choose their door wisely.

Brick or Treat at LEGOLAND ® Discovery Centre Birmingham and Manchester runs from 26th September to 1st November, featuring glow-in-the-dark LEGO® builds, festive pumpkin creations at the Pumpkin Patch, a Boneyard Hunt scavenger trail and the return of The Great Monster Chase 4D movie.

Why stop at Halloween? Seek scream-out-loud moments all year round and jump into more than 20 top UK attractions with a Merlin Annual Pass.
