Halloween events Liverpool for families 2024
There’s plenty going on for kids this Halloween in Liverpool. Below you’ll find all the Halloween events Liverpool for families in 2024. There are family-friendly shows, farm events featuring pumpkin carving, Halloween discos and so much more. This post is part of a series of posts on Halloween events North West.
I have done my best to make sure this post is up to date but please check the organiser’s website before travelling as events may be cancelled at short notice. The majority of these events need pre-booking.
A lot of these events are already on sale but some aren’t yet so I have left last year’s details in for now.
If you have an event you want to be added, drop me an email at – info@northwestforkids.co.uk I add all events for free and this year I’m offering low cost “Featured events” where your event will be pinned to the top of the guide, you can include a photo and you’ll also get a dedicated Facebook post to promote just your event to my page of 18k. Email me to find out costs and potential reach of your chosen guide.
If you love finding new family days out and events in the North West then you need to follow me on Facebook or Instagram. If you use Facebook you might like to join my Family Days out North West group.
