Halloween is taking over Crewe this October with two weeks of spooky fun, eerie events and plenty of tricks and treats for the whole family.
Our very first Crewe Spooktacular runs from Saturday, October 18th through to Sunday, November 2nd, filling the town with half term magic and Halloween mayhem.
It all begins with our brand-new character trails launching on Saturday, October 18th, setting the scene for a fortnight of frightfully good fun. Shops, cafés and venues across the BID will be getting into the spirit with spooky makeovers, eerie offers and plenty of activities to enjoy during half term and across Halloween weekend itself.
The highlight of the campaign will be on Saturday, October 25th when the Crewe Spooktacular takes over the town. From 11am to 3.30pm Lyceum Square and Grand Junction Retail Park will be filled with free family fun, glitter face painting, creepy crafts and roaming performers.
At 1pm, our fancy dress competition will crown the best costumes, at 2pm you can stomp and shake along at a monster dance rehearsal with a live drummer, and at 3pm the Pumpkin Parade will bring the day to a colourful close with Carmina’s stilt walkers and harvest performers. Crewe Market Hall will also be part of the action with a Halloween Comic-Con.
For this first year we’ve given each part of the BID a spooky new identity. The town centre becomes the Haunted Heart of Crewe, Nantwich Road shows its darker side with Nantwitch Road and Grand Junction Retail Park transforms into Pumpkin Junction. We’ll also be sharing a spooky map to tie everything together and guide families around town.
The Crewe Spooktacular is our way of boosting community spirit, shining a light on local businesses and giving families a Halloween to remember.
So gather your ghouls and ghosts, polish those pumpkins and join us for two weeks of spooktacular fun. Tag @DiscoverCrewe and use #DiscoverCrewe to share your photos.
