Here are our top picks:
- You can't go wrong with a witch costume. It's classic and timeless, so you'll always be able to wear it again. Plus, it's fun to play around with different looks—you can get as elaborate or simple as you want.
- A zombie costume will make a statement without being too scary (unless you want it to be!). If you're looking for something more subtle, try adding a little blood and dirt smears to your everyday clothes.
- If you love cats, a cat costume might be just what you need. You can also get creative by dressing up like one of your favourite animals from books or movies—just make sure it isn't too scary for any kids who might see you out trick-or-treating on Halloween night!
- A devil costume doesn’t sound bad either. You can go with the classic red and black, or bust out a more modern take on it. Either way, this is an easy costume that will impress your friends.
Here are some tips for spooking up your space:
- Set up a haunted house in the back room if your venue has one. If you have any actor friends or guests who’d like to act scary at your Halloween event this is a great spot for them to do their thing!
- Get some fake cobwebs and spider webs and hang them around the place. You can also use string lights or even plain white lights to create an eerie glow that'll make everyone feel like they're in an episode of Stranger Things.
- Buy some fake skeletons or skulls and display them around the venue so it looks like something is lurking around every corner.
- If you want to go all out, you could try making your own tombstones out of cardboard. Just remember that when people are paying money to come into your venue for Halloween, they expect a certain standard of quality—so if you're going for something more elaborate than just a few decorations on the wall, don't skimp out on things like fake blood splatters or fog machines if you want it to look truly authentic. It all depends on whether you want to go all out with your Halloween party or if you want to keep it fairly low-key.
To really boost the atmosphere, craft a great playlist that features plenty of Halloween classics like ‘The Monster Mash’.
If you want to make your party is the talk of the town, it's important to think about how you can make sure everyone has a good time. Here are some ideas:
- Hire a DJ and make sure they play spooky music all night long.
- Set up a photo booth where guests can take pictures in costumes.
- Put on a costume contest; the winner gets bragging rights forever!
- Hire some actors or get your friends to dress up and scare other guests.
- Play an escape room game that you make up yourself if you have the time and energy to set one up!

Your Guide to Hiring Halloween Venues in London
So what if you’re too old for trick-or-treating? You can still have a lot of fun on Halloween. Even if you don’t want to go all out and don a crazy costume, this holiday is still a great excuse for a frightfully fantastic bash.
Selecting the perfect venue to hire for your Halloween event in London is key to ensuring that the theme and atmosphere resonate well with your vision and create an unforgettable experience for your guests.
Popular Types of Halloween Venues in London
- Haunted Historical Sites: London has many historical venues that naturally contain an air of mystery and intrigue. Consider hosting your event at a historic mansion or castle rumoured to be haunted.
- Gothic Churches and Cathedrals: Consider hiring a deconsecrated church or cathedral for a setting that exudes gothic charm. With their soaring arches and stained glass windows, these venues offer a dramatic setting for a Halloween concert or masquerade ball.
- Industrial Spaces in East London: The gritty, industrial areas of East London, such as Shoreditch and Hackney, are home to warehouses and factories that can be transformed into post-apocalyptic landscapes or futuristic dystopias. These spaces are perfect for immersive Halloween experiences and themed parties.
- Elegant Mansions in Mayfair: Consider the mansions and private clubs here for a more refined Halloween event. These venues lend themselves well to sophisticated costume balls and exclusive haunted dinners.
- Cultural and Artistic Spaces: London's vibrant arts scene means numerous galleries and theatres can serve as unique venues for Halloween events. Imagine hosting a contemporary art exhibition with a Halloween twist in a gallery space in South Kensington or a theatrical performance in a West End theatre.
Tips for Choosing A Venue
- Atmosphere and Ambiance: Choose a venue that aligns with your Halloween theme. Look for architectural elements, historical significance, or unique features that can enhance the atmosphere without extensive decoration.
- Location: Consider the venue's location and how easy it is to get there by public transport. Halloween venues in Central London neighbourhoods like Covent Garden or Soho are easily reached by public transport, but also explore the charm of the outer boroughs for a more secluded setting.
- Flexibility and Capacity: Ensure the venue you hire can accommodate your guests comfortably and has the flexibility to cater to your event's specific needs, like sound and lighting requirements for a haunted house experience.
- Outdoor Spaces: If your event includes outdoor elements, such as bonfires or pumpkin patches, look for venues for hire with gardens or courtyards. The Royal Parks, such as Hyde Park, offer expansive outdoor spaces that can be used for larger events.
- Safety and Amenities: Ensure the venue has adequate safety measures, especially if you're planning elaborate setups or special effects. Check for amenities like catering facilities, restrooms, and cloakrooms to ensure your guests' comfort.
By choosing a venue that complements your Halloween event's theme, you can create a memorable and engaging experience for your guests.
