Head down to the Tate for this weekend’s Spooky Saturday with Dancing Skeletons, Trick or Treat costume making, Monster Mash cooking workshops, Scary storytelling, Witch making and Hungry Ghosts which is operatic workshops with a twist.

The 1st November is the Day of the Dead in Mexico and they will be celebrating in all its macabre glory at the British Museum

It is all ghosts and goulies at the National Maritime Musuem, and fascinating Halloween skies up for the viewing at the Planetarium

The London Dungeons are scary on a normal Saturday, but for Halloween they have pulled out all the stops with Witch Trials, this one's not for the faint hearted.

The Witch Weekend at the RAF Museum looks great and 3+children get to make their own broomstick to take home with them.

 
Wicked Day at the Lawrence Hall at the Royal Horticultural Halls on Sunday 1st November from noon till 6pm is going to be a blast.  Spooky competitions, dance performances, face painting, fancy dress. Should be fun and games.

Let off steam at the Alexandra Palace Ice Rink this Halloween.  They are offering free entry   to little monsters dressed up in fully spooky costume 

A little further afield but wonderfully spooky is Chiddingstone Castle where there is lots of Halloween fun on Thursday all day; ghostly face painting, ghosts arriving as dusk draw in, should be fun, all afternoon.

Get spooked on a Halloween trail and help feed meerkats from hollowed-out pumpkins at London Zoo
