Five best Halloween activities for kids

Who doesn’t like getting their hands dirty? Little guests can create their very own monster or pumpkin-themed slime in this fun, interactive session led by our friendly instructors. Decorate your ghastly goo before taking a pot of your marvellous creation home with you.

Our Halloween Sand Art activity gives our younger visitors another opportunity to get creative over the Halloween period, and it's one of our favourite Halloween activities for kids! Swap the sand on the beach for some indoor art. In this fun activity, kids get to sprinkle colourful variations to create their very own masterpiece. And the best bit is they got to take their work home to treasure and remember the time they had a Halloween stay with us.

If you're looking to celebrate Halloween while on one of our parks this year, why not watch a Halloween film in your caravan? Our Silver, Gold and Signature caravans all have DVD players – all you need to do is choose your title. A feature length bit of TV is the perfect excuse to cuddle up and eat some treats. And with Freeview, you can access up to 70 channels at the touch of a button. The possibilities are many and the opportunities are large!

Dress up in your best spooky costumes and join the other pumpkins, skeletons, witches and spiders in Haven's fancy dress parade - it's a great excuse to perfect those face-painting skills. And grown-ups can join in too - as if you needed any encouragement!

Gather up sticks, stones, leaves and any other natural resource you fancy, and use your inner Picasso to turn them into a Halloween masterpiece. Twiggy spider-web? The Seaside Squad recreated in leaf form? The spooky possibilities are endless!

There's also the chance to create your own spooky design in a pumpkin-carving session, and create a spooky look for your cuddly friend in the Halloween-themed Make a Bear activity.
