Halloween in Canterbury
Spend spooky season exploring our cobbled streets and haunted coastline
Embrace your spooky side this autumn and take a magical, misty trip to Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay for Halloween.
There are so many haunts waiting for you here, from cosy historic pubs brimming with tall tales (and warming drinks) to fascinating attractions dressed up for Halloween with events for all the family to enjoy.
We've got some boo-rilliant adventures in the city centre, including seasonal trails, trick-or-treat events, museum fun and fancy-dress parties for grown-ups.
During your visit don't forget to book on one of our famous  Canterbury Ghost Tours or take an lantern lit adventure with Canterbury Punting.
Canterbury has been the epicentre of many famous ghost stories - download the Canterbury & Coast app and enjoy a free Ghost Story Trail sending you to locations that inspired haunting tales over the centuries (trail running from 17-31 October).
