Halloween Evenings of Mini Horrors

Cockington Halloween and Day of the Dead Festival

Halloween

Looking for an eerie event for some wicked fun this Halloween? From ghoulish walks to batty trails, you’ll have a spooktacular time during your visit to Torbay, Devon.

Halloween fun for all the family

The kids love Halloween, so make it extra special with a trip to one of Torbay’s many attractions that organise extra fun treats (and a few tricks!) for children.

You’ll find lots going on at Cockington Court, from pumpkin carving to terrifying tales with some ghostly story-telling. Then pull on your wellies for a fiendish walk around the grounds following the Halloween Trail. If you’ve worked up an appetite, stop-off for a slap-up meal made with fresh seasonal produce at The Drum Inn. Or rest in a tea-room with a frightfully nice cream tea.

Occombe Farm also organises a programme of Halloween fun to keep younger children happy over October half-term. Try your hand at creepy crafts or dare yourself to complete the spooky trail. The Cookery School at Occombe Farm serves up something slightly different for kids at Halloween. So if your little one has always wanted to learn how to make eyeball pops or freaky fingers, book them a space.

Creepy crawlies

Get up close and personal with some creepy crawlies, stare a wolf right in the eye, or dare to face the crocodiles in the crocodile swamp at Paignton Zoo. You’ll find lots of Halloween-themed extra activities on offer during the October half-term week, including animal talks and ghost-train rides. And there’s more wild fun and games at Living Coasts in Torquay. Here the Halloween trail invites younger members of the family to explore the sinister underwater creatures from the deepest depths of the sea.

Seriously scary for the fright of your life

If you’ve got older children or want to freak out your friends, take them to the caves at Kents Cavern. The frightening Halloween Ghost Show can terrify even the most cynical teenager. Take our word for it, it really is pretty scary - it has an advisory minimum age of 8 years old and if you have a nervous disposition it may be wise to give this one a miss.

Don’t worry, those who like to put a bit more fun into their frightening won’t miss out. Kents Cavern also organises lots of other Halloween activities suitable for everyone. Take part in a spooky dig and underground pumpkin hunt or have lots of laughs on the witch hat joke trail.

A devilishly good disco

The Riviera Centre in Torquay hosts a fun children’s party for Halloween. Fancy-dress is encouraged and games, competitions, and a disco will keep your little witches and zombies happy whilst you can relax in the bar.

And for the adults who want to party, you’ll find special Halloween nights and promotions at the bars and nightclubs across Torbay.
