Halloween Celebrations in Exeter

Devon is known for its beautiful, deep valleys and the humming hills, but it’s all about to change for a few days at the end of October. Halloween will turn this magnificent county into a spooky spot with ghoulish events adding more mystery to your days out. After spending a Halloween night in Exeter, you’ll never see the landscape the same way again!

So, what to do in Exeter this Halloween? Here are our favourite celebrations taken place around the county.

Spook the family at Adventure Park

The Atlantis Adventure Park has been organising a host of spooky events since the start of October, with events continuing until the end of the month. The events are great for the whole family, as you can be stuck with bat-filed caves and calm your nerves with good old-fashion pumpkin carving.

There’s also plenty of devilishly tasty food and drink available to guarantee your stomach won’t be growling as you return home. But be aware, Halloween can produce plenty of other spooky sounds…

Get your moves honed to 90s

What better way to celebrate Halloween, then bringing out the ghosts from the past alive in a 90s-themed party? Waxxx is hosting a warehouse extravaganza, which is guaranteed to get the party started. There’s not many tickets left so you had better act quick!

You should also get your act sorted with proper 90s-themed clothing. Since you don’t want to cause yourself a heart attack when the next credit card statement comes through, check out offers from retailers like Miss Selfridge and Tokyo Laundry.

Partner up with Dracula

Halloween isn’t the most romantic night of the year, but if you are after a bit excitement, then speed dating at Starz Bar & Restaurant. You could hook up with Dracula himself or perhaps just settle with a lovely Exeter bloke or gal.

Whether you are looking for love or just new friends, a speed dating night on the scariest night of the year is definitely something out of the ordinary. Getting dressed up in a spooky Halloween costume is a great way to break the ice anyway and it’ll calm your nerves if you are new to the thing.

Tour the haunted locations

Did you know Exeter has plenty of haunted locations? These eerily quiet locations are guaranteed to turn your Halloween night into screamingly fun.

Instead of flocking to an organised event or a party, why don’t you gather your friends and take them on a mysterious, haunted house tour? Start your journey from the former Cowick Priory in Exwick, visit Martin’s Lane and end your evening with a brisk walk in the Cathedral Green graveyard.

If you feel like testing out the scary stories of haunted houses on Halloween, book yourself with the White Hart Hotel!

Spend a night at the museum

The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery is coming alive on Halloween. The scariest night of the year will be even spookier when ancient paintings and artefacts surround you. The vast museum halls can be deceptive and the whispers you hear… Who knows what century they are from!

Even if you don’t feel like heading out on Halloween, the mood here in Exeter will guarantee you are spooked even at home. Just organise a devilishly spooky party of your own. You can find stunning Halloween offers from the best local shops at VouchaCodes and the Food & Drink section at the Exeter Daily is full of amazingly tasty recipes to cook!

Halloween is the perfect way to kick-start the autumn holiday season here in Exeter – before you’re done eating your pumpkins it’s time to start preparing for the Bonfire Night party!
