• Location: Sandbox VR Birmingham, Unit 25A Grand Central Shopping Centre, Stephenson Place, B2 4BF
• When: Open every day (and until 11pm on 31st October)
• Price: From £25 per person
• Why we recommend: whether you fancy a public or private session (the latter is ideal for you and up to 5 friends), Sandbox VR immerses you into a range of games that are sure to send a tingle up your spine this Halloween

Located in Grand Central shopping centre, Sandbox VR is a virtual reality experience that allows you to explore different worlds and be the star of your own action film. They've released a new immersive setting that's perfect for Halloween in Birmingham too: Deadwood PHOBIA.

You'll be transported into a derelict medical facility that was once used to treat patients' fears through exposure therapy. It's now filled with unimaginable horrors, promising jump scares and psychological scares. Are you feeling brave enough?

• Location: XOYO BIRMINGHAM, Lower Trinity St, Deritend, Birmingham, B9 4AG
• When: 31st October
• Price: from £21.45 per person
• Why we recommend: if your ideal October 31st consists of massive singalongs and crowd participation rather than traditional jump scares, Birmingham's ultimate throwback festival is a mandatory booking

Taking over the state-of-the-art multi-room spaces at XOYO Birmingham in Digbeth, this special edition Old Skool Bingo drops the traditional aesthetic for a wild, bass-heavy party atmosphere.

Led by interactive MC hosts and a resident DJ spinning nonstop 80s, 90s, and 2000s RnB anthems, the night features spontaneous dance-offs, hilarious on-stage challenges, and a premium fancy dress competition where one guest is crowned Halloween royalty. Best of all, your entry ticket includes complimentary VIP access to the official late-night afterparty at Rum Rum on Exeter Street, letting you keep the party jumping until the early hours.

• Location: Attwell Farm Park and Halloween At The Barn 
• When: October 2026
• Price: from £4.50 per person 
• Why we recommend: between Attwell Farm Park's spine-tingling scare maze and The Barn's pumpkin-filled fairground atmosphere, Birmingham's pumpkin patches are serving up the ultimate autumn adventure

If your autumn isn't complete without muddy boots, spiced lattes and a pumpkin (or three) to carve, then Birmingham's got some real treats in store this spooky season. Just outside the city, Attwell Farm Park in Redditch is transforming for its half-term Halloween spooktacular, with sprawling pick-your-own fields, ghost hunts, and even a haunted house. Kids can meet fluffy farm animals or creepy crawlies, while adults brave the evening scare maze that'll lead you through the rat run, sewer and torture barn (if you dare).

Meanwhile, Halloween At The Barn in nearby Meriden is bringing a full-blown autumn festival vibe, complete with an eco-skating rink, axe throwing, and a pumpkin patch stocked with every size from teeny to towering.
