Fiendish fun for Halloween
Here in Britain we have more than our fair share of creepy critters and ghostly goings on. So to help you get into the spirit this Halloween we've prepared a fiendish feast of Halloween ideas for this season of scary fun.
Brave one of the most haunted cities in Europe this Halloween and take a tour of Edinburgh’s dark alleys and underground chambers. In the city of real-life body snatchers Burke and Hare you’ll find scares aplenty. Try the Real Mary King’s Close for a good mix of history and horror or for all-out blood curdling mayhem try City of the Dead – the only tour in Edinburgh to have access to the lair of the infamous Mackenzie Poltergeist.

Fright Night in Sheffield is the biggest Halloween party in the UK taking place on 25 October. Join 38,000 freaks, spooks, goblins and ghosts for ghost tours, a ghost train, Victorian illusions, food stalls, kids’ activities and more. Get creative and come in your creepiest costume for the fancy dress catwalk.
From Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November the London Eye will be transformed into a gruesome grotto featuring a spooky forest and a bubbling bog. Two witches, one nasty, one nice, will be there to offer tricks and treats. Take the kids on the Tales of Two Witches Cruise, heed the cautionary tales of the mysterious Thames and hear dark stories of London’s riverside landmarks, towers and bridges.

Alnwick Castle is no stranger to witches and wizards and starred as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. Wear freakish fancy dress, carve pumpkins, hear ghostly stories, take a spooky walk after dark and join the family party. Look out for Harry Potter look-alikes, potion brewing workshops, puppet making and more. Events run from 25 October to 31 October.
From 24-31 October, Scudmore's Halloween Ghost Tours will combine a Jack O'Lantern-lit punt along the College Backs with a guided walk to visit Cambridge's most haunted places. Those brave enough to join the tour will be taken back into Cambridge's dark and troubled past to hear of spooky sightings, macabre tales and tragic events. This tour is not recommended for those of a nervous disposition.

There’s not much scarier than a bunch of crazed Vikings! And there’ll be plenty at JORVIK's Halloween party on 31 October. Take the kids to York’s Viking experience and be swept back in time to 975 AD by the Viking ride. Watch out for unhinged Vikings lurking at every turn and get stuck into refreshments, goody bags and more.

What better way to celebrate the scariest night of the year than staying in an ancient, spooky building? The Landmark Trust has quirky accommodation from castles to prisons and twisted fairytale cottages. Try the Swiss Cottage in Devon that’s straight out of Hansel and Gretel, The House of Correction – on the site of a 17th century prison, or the isolated Napoleonic fort, Fort Clonque, on Alderney in the Channel Islands.

You’ll come face to face with the horrific Scare Witch in the haunted forest, be tried for witchcraft yourself and experience the witch’s hideous revenge in the bowels of her stinking prison. The Scare Witch Trials run from 17-31 October.
