The more good cheer we can grab at the moment the better, so don’t miss out on the frightfully good deals we have on Halloween Breaks in the UK with our last minute offers. Book a bewitching break for thrills and spills and an altogether wonderfully cosy time away with your nearest and dearest. Just think of all the fun you’ll have – dressing up, playing games, making Halloween themed food, playing tricks on each other!
We love Halloween. Oh, we know, it’s all very commercial these days, but so what? It’s still great fun, and fun has been very thin on the ground this year so any opportunity, that’s what we say. And what better than to getaway to a gorgeous house in the country with the fam for your very own version of frightful frolics and ominous ongoings? Come and hang around for a spell, bring pumpkins and costumes, make Halloween themed food together – make it magical for the young ‘uns, they love it.
One part of the Halloween celebrations that gets them shrieking with excitement is the games. We love that, the grown-ups join in and before you know it there’s Halloween hilarity all round, everyone laughing, big happy smiles. We’ve put together a few ideas for games, all easy peasy to do, and not likely to make much mess either so no-one will be up late cleaning up. The dressing up bit is always fun too, especially getting the kids ready, painting their little faces and taking photos of them. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to Halloween costumes for children, and a surprising selection for grown ups too, but there’s always the easy option to throw an old sheet over you and make like a ghost, or to cut it into strips and wrap yourself up like a mummy!
Likewise, there are stacks of Halloween recipes to be found online; scary face pizzas, toffee apples, haunted castle cakes, scary bat biscuits, plates of slithery worms. Again, kids love to join in the baking so get organised and have a grocery delivery from Dart Fresh with everything you need for a fearful feast. They’ll deliver apples for apple bobbing and big fat pumpkins for carving into lanterns; use the flesh to make hearty soups and serve it with warm crusty bread for dunking.
