Halloween at W5

About

This Halloween, from 11 October to 2 November, W5 transforms into a world of magic, mystery, and spine-tingling fun! From ancient forests and ghostly encounters in the immersive Enchanted Hollow, to thrilling science experiments led by wizards and witches in Pumpkins and Potions, there's something to captivate every curious mind.

Head to the Spooky Science Bar for hands-on experiments, bubbling potions, and gooey surprises that will amaze both kids and adults. Brave the haunted heights of Climbit, our multi-storey climbing structure, and watch out for spiders, skeletons, and other eerie creatures hiding in the shadows.

For those who prefer to stay on solid ground, visit the Hocus Pocus Café and enjoy spooky snacks and magical drinks to recharge before continuing your adventure. Don't forget to grab a seat at our Spooky Story Time sessions and unleash your inner artist designing Halloween Masks at the Sketch Club.

With thrills, chills, and magical surprises around every corner, W5 is the ultimate family destination this Halloween. Will you dare to discover what lurks within?
