Halloween in Lincoln

Whether you're looking for family-friendly thrills, or something a bit more spooky, you'll find a fang-tastic variety of Halloween events in Lincoln this October. 

With so much history surrounding the city, it should come as no surprise that Lincoln is the subject of a plethora of spooky stories. The site of many bloody sieges, beheadings and battles, the old cobbled streets here are filled with spine-tingling tales just waiting to be discovered…

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, many of these haunting stories offer a fascinating insight into the city’s past. From headless bodies to, erm, body-less heads, there are a whole host of ghost stories that centre around Lincoln’s historic attractions.

The annual Pumpkin Trail will be returning to Lincoln this year, alongside a series of new events and activities, including the much-anticipated Monster Invasion which is set to transform the city's rooftops again, illuminating the night sky with a gruesome glow. Back on ground level, a crowd of curious characters will be hitting the High Street as part of The Big Spook.

For teens and adults, there is a brand new event to look forward to. Taking place in the Cornhill Quarter, Eulogy is a unique audio experience, brought to you by the award-winning company, Darkfield. Performed in complete darkness over 35 minutes, this immersive experience uses binaural sound and speech recognition technology to take audiences on a dreamlike journey… How the dream unfolds is up to you!

Away from the city, you'll find even more to enjoy. Autumn is the perfect season to experience the wonderful Lincolnshire countryside - so grab your wellies and get exploring! From pumpkin patches to seasonal farmers markets, you will find a plethora of autumnal events on offer around the county.
