October half-term breaks at four major UK holiday park brands start from £85, with themed Halloween activities including shows, pumpkin carving and discos.
Haven offers breaks from £85, Parkdean from £169, Butlin's from £205 and Center Parcs from £829, according to details announced by the companies.
Butlin's Spooktober breaks from £205
Butlin's is offering a range of Spooktober breaks midweek through October and during half term, starting with a welcome party described as "full of Halloween hits and spooky surprises". Its fairgrounds are being turned into Scaregrounds, with fog machines, atmospheric lights and scary monsters lurking in dark corners, while some rides will operate after dark.
Evening entertainment, usually known as Nights at Reds, will become Frights at Reds, billed as: "Think spine-tingling singalongs, killer party dances, ghoulish games, DJ sets that'll raise the dead, and our brand-new Eerily Silent Disco." Daytime activities are also included, along with access to waterparks and other usual break features.
Haven and Center Parcs offerings
Haven is offering Halloween breaks across its parks for October 2026, including half-term dates, with spooky entertainment and activities varying by location and date. Selected parks will host a Halloween Parade, and the usual Haven entertainment gets an autumn edge, such as a Halloween version of the Seaside Squad Let's Dance show. Extras can be added after booking, including pumpkin carving, Halloween Make a Bear and themed slime workshops.
Center Parcs parks will offer Halloween activities for half-term visitors, including a Halloween Bash party for children with games and crafts, plus sessions such as broomstick making. Guests can also enjoy forest strolls, playgrounds and subtropical swimming paradises.
Parkdean activities from October 2
Parkdean will run Halloween activities in 59 of its parks from October 2 to November 1, promising "live entertainment and thrilling activities". Depending on the date and park, visitors could enjoy a Creepy Disco, watch a Halloween-themed show called Disturbia, or take part in a kid-friendly ghost walk.
Kids can take part in pumpkin crafts, Halloween-themed slime workshops, sand art or pottery, and some parks will host a Monster Ball with competitions, fancy-dress and live performances.
