Get Ready for a Spooktacular Halloween in Great Yarmouth!

Halloween in Great Yarmouth is a treat for families, with a cauldron full of spooky events and activities popping up all over town. Whether you're looking for gentle thrills for little ones or something a bit more spine-chilling for older kids (and adults!), there's something for everyone to enjoy during the October half term.

Family-Friendly Halloween Events

Here's a look at some of the best Halloween events happening in and around Great Yarmouth this year:

  • Pleasure Beach Spooktacular: Always a popular choice, the Pleasure Beach often hosts themed events during half term. Check their website closer to the time for details of any Halloween-themed rides, shows, or decorations. It’s only an 8-minute walk from St George Hotel.
  • SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth: Immerse yourself in an underwater world with a spooky twist. SEA LIFE often runs special Halloween trails and activities, combining marine life with seasonal fun. It's super close to us, just a 3-minute walk!
  • Hirsty's Family Fun Park Halloween Hoot: A short drive from Great Yarmouth, Hirsty's in Hemsby is a brilliant choice. They go all out with Halloween decorations, pumpkin carving, a haunted maze (suitable for different age groups), and much more. Be sure to check their website for ticket details and booking information.
  • Bewilderwood: While technically a bit further afield (near Hoveton), BeWILDerwood is worth the trip! During October, they usually host "Bewilderbats" a Halloween-themed adventure with storytelling, crafts, and spooky trails through the woods. Remember to book in advance!
  • Pumpkin Picking Patches: Several local farms around Great Yarmouth offer pumpkin picking experiences. Check out local listings closer to October for locations and opening times. This is a fantastic activity for families to choose their own pumpkins for carving.
