The scariest season of the year is here when anything may happen at any time and becoming scared is all part of the fun.
There are several spooky events taking place in and around the Hull area if you're searching for ways to commemorate Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve, in the days leading up to October 31. There is something to fit every level of scariness necessary, from twisted haunted homes to tour to frightening trails to follow, and from creepy crafts to reptile roadshows.
The Halloween activities we now know and enjoy, like trick-or-treating, apple-bobbing, dressing up in costumes, and carving spooky faces into pumpkins to light with candles, all sprang from customs and adaptations of old ceremonies and superstitions.
Samhain, an old Celtic holiday that marked the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, is where Halloween got its start. Old Gaelic people thought that on October 31, the lines between the worlds of the living and the dead blurred, allowing the dead to come back to life and cause trouble by spreading a disease or ruining crops.
During the event, bonfires would frequently be lit, and it is said that the flames drew insects to the area, which in turn drew bats—a symbol that has come to be associated with Halloween. Bad spirits were tried to be fooled or scared away by wearing masks and costumes.
Here is a list of some of the Halloween activities happening in the area and around it.
Burton Constable Hall, Adventure Cinema
This magnificent Elizabethan country house's earliest components date to the 12th century, yet the location is being brought right up to date with a chic outdoor movie experience. The Lost Boys, Hocus Pocus, and The Shining will all be shown outside by Adventure Cinema. You can bring a picnic, and there will be hot food, drinks, and a bar (but no glassware) on site. Parking is provided for free on-site.
Burton Constable is also leading frightening crafts, scary stories, and trails, including bats, witch hats, and pumpkins.
Hallowscream, York Maze
Hallowscream at York Maze, which won the award for "Best UK Scream Park," has more than 100 actors in five different live-action haunted house attractions for a night of thrills and chills. But be careful—there are also roving characters and live stage shows that add to the scary atmosphere, so the scares aren't just in the haunted houses. No children under the age of 14 are allowed; children ages 14 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Open on a few evenings between October 13 and November 5.
For families with kids between the ages of ten and fifteen who are too old for trick-or-treating but too young for Hallowscream, Hallowtween is a terrifyingly entertaining occasion. Available on October 25–30.
All Hallows FEASTival, Withernsea
At the All Hallows FEASTival, which will be held in the resort's Valley Gardens, there will be spooky family activities and scary surprises. Both people who live in and visit Withernsea are welcome. The day will be a spine-tingling family outing with live entertainment and music playing throughout the day on the main stage, food, fun, and fairground attractions.
The new Halloween theme will be present at the original FEASTival event, which was originally scheduled for February but was postponed due to high winds 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Ghoul and Motown at the Manor Rooms
On Friday, October 28, at 7 p.m. From 7 to midnight, get ready for the Ghoul and Motown Halloween Parties at the Manor Rooms on the Drewton Estate in South Cave.
