Halloween Events For Kids In London

Venture into Kew Gardens after dark for a family-friendly Halloween trail filled with eerie illuminations, hidden surprises and legendary creatures. Adult admission starts at £19.50 for non-members or £16.75 for members, covering encounters with Dracula, dazzling fire performers, the Headless Horseman and a brand-new cursed tomb.

Running from 16th October to 1st November, the experience offers daylight, twilight and moonlight sessions, so you can dial the scare factor up or down to suit the whole family.

A Family Immersive Brunch is happening at Archer Street on Northcote Road, and you and your little gremlins are invited to join the festivities. This themed dining experience involves two hours of immersive live performances centred around spooky hits and your kids' favourite pop classics. 

Adults get a glass of prosecco, children get a soft drink, and everyone gets to tuck into pizzas while the entertainment ensues. 

Explore the sinister side of one of London's most notorious landmarks as Halloween takes over the Tower from 24th October to 1st November. The family-friendly experience comes included with regular entry, priced from £37 for adults and £18.50 for children (free under 5), while members can visit free.

Follow mysterious clues, listen for distant roars and catch wandering spirits gathering at the forge during three scheduled appearances each day.

Whether you're in Chelsea, Richmond or Greenwich, check out your local Sticks'n'Sushi Kids Masterclass this Halloween. They're hosting themed specials of their popular event, where your little ones will learn how to prepare delicious bites.

Expert chefs will guide them through the process of creating hosomaki rolls, nigiri and more, before they eat their tasty bites. This is aimed at ages seven to 13, and everyone will get a bandana and certificate to take home.

Unearth an ancient evil at The London Dungeon on the South Bank, where Curse of the Mummy brings a sinister Victorian legend to life from 17th October to 1st November. Online tickets start from £27 for adults and £22 for children, and include the limited-run Halloween show alongside 13 interactive experiences, live actors, immersive sets and thrilling rides.

Located beside the London Eye at County Hall, this is your chance to discover the fate of those who disturbed the Unlucky Mummy, assuming you avoid taking the curse home.

This Halloween, The Milestone Hotel & Residences is rolling out a delightfully spooky spin on its iconic Afternoon Tea - just for little monsters. From the 27th of October to the 2nd of November, children under 12 can tuck into a frightfully fun feast of sweet and savoury delights in one of Kensington's most elegant settings. Think dainty sandwiches filled with Wiltshire ham, peanut butter and jam, and Bea Tollman's famous chicken mayonnaise, followed by freshly baked scones piled high with Cornish clotted cream and homemade strawberry preserve.

Of course, no Halloween tea would be complete without some ghoulishly good treats - and this one delivers in style. Kids can sink their fangs into a pumpkin spice and white chocolate blondie, dark chocolate and raspberry choux, and a candy apple macaron. It's £45 per child for this magical afternoon of sugar, smiles, and spooky indulgence.

Hobbledown Heath in West London is opening up its field of pumpkins for the autumn season – and invites you to come and search for the perfect one to take home. 

While you're on the hunt for gorgeous gourds, take some time out of your mission to enjoy live entertainment, marshmallow toasting and interactive games that the kids will love. 

The Hard Rock Hotel Cafe is known for taking things to the next level – and its family-friendly Halloween celebrations are no exception. Join the Little Monsters Breakfast on 25th October in Mayfair and tuck into an unlimited all-American buffet. 

And while you're filling up on food, the kids can enjoy Halloween games, face painting and cookie decorating. And while you're there, why not give them a lesson in music history by showing them around the memorabilia-laden dining area. And to really keep the spooky spirit alive – fancy dress is highly encouraged. 

A fun daytime party at the Heathcote & Star in Leyton, this cinema event promises a range of silly, spooky films for the whole family to enjoy.

Tickets cost £6.60 for children, with parents going free. This includes a goodie bag, alongside drinks and snacks on the day, with prizes for the best costumes too.

There's nothing better than pumpkin carving for a classic Halloween activity, and The Plough in Dulwich are hosting a kids' session on the 31st.

They'll get the chance to design and carve their very own pumpkin to take home, with everything they need included in the ticket price.

Gather your mini ghosts and little goblins for a spook-tacular morning of trick-or-treating along Garratt Lane at the Earlsfield Halloween Hunt. This neighbourhood trail transforms the local high street into a friendly, pumpkin-lit playground for kids and their families.

Little ones can kick off the adventure by picking up a hunt map at 'Halloween HQ' - Halfway House - before following clues, collecting hidden letters, and gathering sweet treats from welcoming local shopkeepers. Crack the final secret code, head back to HQ, and claim a mystery prize to cap off a fun-filled morning of community spirit and costume dress-up.
