Half-Term Halloween Fun

Congleton Town Council is excited to announce a Halloween Half-Term celebration. Families can look forward to a mix of free and ticketed activities designed to bring the community together in seasonal fun.

The popular Halloween Trail returns from Saturday 25 October to Saturday 1 November supported by more than 40 town centre businesses. Families are invited to hunt for spooky clues hidden in shop windows, uncover a secret message, and return their completed sheet to Congleton Information Centre to claim a spooky treat. The trail is free to join and offers a fantastic way to explore the high street, support local shops, and enjoy a family day out. Trail leaflets coming soon can be collected from the Information Centre or downloaded at home.

Adding to the excitement is Witchy Wednesday at Congleton Town Hall on Wednesday 29 October. This ticketed event offers children a frightfully fun time with activities including pumpkin carving, creepy crafts, face painting, scary cake decorating, and a fancy-dress competition.

Tickets for Witchy Wednesday are available from Congleton Information Centre or online via TicketSource: Congleton Town Council event tickets from TicketSource. Tickets cost £2 per child, with three different time slots available at 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm. Adults do not need to buy tickets, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. To ensure as many families as possible can take part, organisers are asking attendees to cancel tickets if plans change, and to book only one session per child.

Rachel McCarthy, Congleton Town Centre and Events Officer, said: “Halloween in Congleton is always a fantastic community celebration, and this year is set to be even bigger and better. The Halloween Trail is a wonderful way to explore our town centre and support local businesses, while Witchy Wednesday promises fun, creativity, and spooky surprises for families. We can’t wait to welcome everyone into the town for some half-term magic.”
