  • Location: 1 All Saints Street, Bristol, BS1 2LZ
  • When: 30th October - 2nd November 2026

  • Why we recommend: swap the usual cocktail bar for something a bit more sinister and immersive this Halloween - Alcotraz: Cell Block Two-Two-Six Bristol is heaps of fun

Alcotraz: Cell Block Two-Two-Six Bristol is turning up the spooky factor with its immersive prison-themed cocktail experience. Step into a Hollywood-worthy jailhouse, don your orange jumpsuit, and become part of the storyline as you interact with a cast of talented actors.

Smuggle in and sip four expertly crafted cocktails, pose for photos around the eerie set, and lose yourself in a night that blends theatre, mixology, and Halloween mischief perfectly.

Pumpkin Picking

  • When: selected dates from 27th September - 31st October
  • Price: pumpkins are not included in the event entry ticket (around £7.99 per person)
  • Why we recommend: it's wholesome, it's autumnal, and it's spooky - what's not to love? 

Avon Valley Adventure Park in Keynsham is serving up more than just pumpkins. From the 27th of September to the 31st of October, wander through rows of gourd-geous pumpkins and pick the perfect one to take home, while enjoying roaming actors, fire shows, and even an apple cannon that lets you test your aim from 100m away.

Add in pumpkin paintball, a funfair, and plenty of photo opportunities, and you've got a full day of festive fun that's perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking for a Halloween day out.
