Hey there spooky friends, it's that time of the year again! 

Hey there spooky friends, it's that time of the year again!
 
Halloween is just around the corner and we cannot wait for all the frightful fun that's in store. Have you noticed that our travel shops have taken on a Halloween theme?
 
In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at Halloween in the UK for 2023, with all the gory details and fascinating facts you need to know. 

     

For starters, did you know that Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain?
 
It was a time when the spirits of the dead were believed to return to earth and haunt the living, and people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off the ghosts. 

So, what can we expect from Halloween in the UK in 2023? Well, for starters, there will be plenty of spooky events and attractions to sink your fangs into. From haunted houses and ghost tours to pumpkin patches and trick-or-treating. Are you planning an event? Or maybe a trip with a group? Did you know that we can help with your
coach hire or transport?
 
Of course, Halloween wouldn't be complete without costumes, and 2023 is sure to see some truly spectacular outfits. Will you be dressing up? Whether you're dressing up as a classic monster like Dracula or Frankenstein's monster, or opting for something more contemporary like a zombie or a witch, there's no shortage of creativity when it comes to Halloween costumes.
 
And let's not forget about the pumpkins! Carving a pumpkin is a time-honoured Halloween tradition, and there are plenty of pumpkin patches where you can pick your own. From traditional orange pumpkins to quirky green and white varieties, there's a pumpkin out there for every taste.
 
Why not consider our
Pendle Witch Experience, this weekend, or book early for next year. 

 
So there you have it, folks – a closer look at Halloween in the UK for 2023. Whether you're a horror fan, a costume enthusiast, or just someone who loves a good scare, there's something for everyone to enjoy this Halloween season. So grab your broomsticks and get ready for some frightful fun – we'll see you on the other side!
