With many of us feeling a tad uncomfortable at the prospect of taking the kids out around the neighbourhood this year, we thought we’d help you out with some fun alternatives so that you can still have a blast this Halloween!

Instead of knocking on neighbours’ doors, why not celebrate by taking part in a neighbourhood pumpkin trail? Create creepy crafts with the kids such as crepe paper bats and spooky spiders made out of pipe cleaners and decorate your garden or window with spooktacular artwork to give the neighbours a festive fright! You can even save 15% on materials at CraftStash to help get you started or receive a free ‘Year of the Dog’ toy (worth £10) when you spend £40 online with Lego!

Or, if you’re looking for something a little more family-focused this half term, why not organise a spooky treasure hunt in your own home before building a blanket fort and watching some (age-appropriate) scary movies? Right now, Joe & Seph’s Gourmet Popcorn are offering 10% off everything for an ‘Ultimate Night in’, and Sweetzies .co.uk are giving you 20% off their fantastic range of pick and mix! You can even rent the latest movie titles for less with Rakuten TV or easily find hundreds of fab family films to snuggle up to with 16% off Sky Store Movies!

You could even treat yourselves to a cheeky takeaway with 45% off Pizza Hut (when you spend over £35 online) and tonnes of offers with your nearest Domino’s Pizza*!
