Michael Palin is at Parr Hall on 13 October, Kenyon Hall pumpkin weekends are sold out, and Spooky World has dated its bonfire for 5 and 6 November.

Halloween season is under way in Warrington. Spooky World’s Fun by Day opens today, and Kenyon Hall Farm’s pumpkin patch has already sold every weekend and half term slot. At Parr Hall the big name is Michael Palin on Tuesday 13 October, and Spooky World has now dated its Bonfire Night for 5 and 6 November.

Everything below was read from the organisers’ own listings, most recently on 4 October 2026, and every entry links back to its source so you can check before you set off. Ticket prices are the organiser’s “from” price. Parr Hall’s are quoted before its booking fee and restoration levy, which our Warrington pantomime page explains. For places that are open whatever the month, see our guide to things to do in Warrington, and for Halloween itself our Warrington Halloween page.

Halloweenville at Partridge Lakes, Culcheth: not confirmed. Its FAQ gives the dates as 3 October to 1 November 2026, but on 4 October there were no tickets on sale, the booking page offered only a mailing list, and both Halloweenville’s site and Partridge Lakes’ still say the 2026 event is coming and to “sign up to be the first to know”. There are no gate sales, so do not turn up without a ticket (Halloweenville). We will list it when tickets appear.

Getting there

Parr Hall, the museum and the market are all in the town centre, a short walk from both Warrington Central and Bank Quay stations. Our page on parking in Warrington has the car parks and tariffs, and the roadworks and travel page lists what is dug up this week. Walton Hall, Gulliver’s World and Partridge Lakes are all drives from the centre.

This page is rewritten as organisers confirm new dates. Dates can still change, so use the links before you travel. More in our What’s On section.
