Amazing days out for your Halloween celebrations this year!

Halloween is upon us once again, and that means it's time to get out and about to enjoy some spooky fun.

If you're looking for ideas on how to celebrate Halloween this year, we've got some great suggestions for days out that will definitely get you into the Halloween spirit.

Where did our Halloween traditions all begin?

The ancient origins of our Halloween traditions, including trick or treating, came from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which became All Souls Day, where "Souling" was popularised. Kids and adults would go door to door dressed as spirits, accepting food in exchange for prayers. Over time, this has evolved into the Halloween trick-or-treating tradition we know today.

But why not change that tradition up?
And go for something different this year, whether you're looking for scary, spooky or just plain fun - we've got it.

For those wanting a super scary day out...

If you're looking to celebrate Halloween by going on a scary experience...

You've got to visit London Bridge for a real knock your socks off scare.

With live actors and realistic sets, the dungeons are sure to send a shiver down your spine.

If you'd prefer to see the real deal and ghosts are more up your street, then why not go on a ghost tour of one of Britain's most haunted prisons? You'll get to explore eerie corridors and cells, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the inmate ghosts that still haunt the prison to this day.

And if that's not enough, and you really want to amp up the fear factor, try a night behind bars! A whole halloween night spent sleeping with the dead returned... This one is not for the faint hearted!

If you fancy something a little more hands-on, then the Prison Break experience could be just what you're looking for. You and your team will have to use all your wits and ingenuity to work together to escape from a prison. It's not for the faint-hearted!
