Halloween is a busy time in NewcastleGateshead when venues across the North East offer you spine-tingling thrills and in some cases - a darn terrifying fright!
Whether you prefer haunted history tours, scare fests, thrilling film screenings or family-friendly events, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So, grab your broomstick, gather your friends and family, put on your spookiest costumes, and immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit. Just remember to have a frightfully good time...if you're brave enough!
Grab your popcorn and get ready for two nights of blood-chilling titles of terror at Tyneside Cinema's Halloween All-Nighters on 24th & 31st of October. The cinema invites you for a Nightmare on Pilgrim Street. Step inside Newcastle Castle this October and uncover centuries of dark and fascinating history, from Romans and Anglo-Saxons to Victorians, medieval prisoners and those caught up in Newcastle’s infamous witch trials.
Join in Beamish Halloween evenings for a special spine-tingling experience, as Beamish is transforms into The Un-living Museum of the North on the 28th, 30th & 31st of October. Enjoy family-friendly fun in the 1950s welfare hall, and meet some unexpected inhabitants along the eerie Edwardian street this Halloween.
Give yourself the heebie-jeebies at many other events too, such as Eldon Scare Trail as Eldon Square transforms into a spook-filled wonderland for families. Enter the Discovery Museum (if you dare) in your finest Halloween dress for a frighteningly fun evening of activities and boogie into the night at O2 City Hall - Halloween in Concert with a frighteningly good night of graveyard smash hits for all the family.
