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: 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.
