Things to do in Cornwall this Halloween
It’s that time of year again when Cornwall starts to look a little creepy.
From pumpkin carving to paranormal tours, we’ve narrowed down the top Halloween events taking place in Cornwall this October. And there really is something for everyone.
Halloween at Bodmin Jail
Monday 18th - Sunday 31st October 2021
Bodmin Jail will be serving up all things grim and ghastly, with Scary Cinema Nights (18+ only!), Paranormal Tours, and their all-night ghost hunting-inspired event, the After Dark Experience.
They’ll also be hosting a weekly ghost walk, which allows you to walk in the footsteps of a prisoner from the old Court Rooms to the point of execution.
Halloween is when Bodmin Jail is at its busiest, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment!
Halloweden October Half-term
Saturday 23rd - Sunday 31st October 2021
This October, you can expect all sorts of tricks and treats at The Eden Project. Solve the creepy clues in the puzzle trail, learn about the visiting feathered friends from the Screech Owl Sanctuary, and make some magic at the Potion Making Workshop.
Plus, they’ll also be welcoming back their ice rink - just in time for a spooky skating session.
