Winchester district transforms into a spooky wonderland during Halloween

Our historic city comes alive with ghostly tales and Halloween-themed events during October. Families can enjoy a range of frightfully fun activities, from pick-your-own pumpkin farms to a Spooky Winch trail through the city centre and the magical world of witches and wizards at the Watercress Line's Wizard Week. Check out our guide to spooky days out in Winchester for kids.

Here's your guide to all the Halloween events happening in October 2025 in Winchester district.
