If you’re looking for Halloween fun that won’t break the bank, the West Midlands has a variety of family-friendly events that are either free or low-cost. Here are some spooky options you can enjoy during October 2024!
Just a note: All information is correct at the time of posting (24.09.2024). Please check individual websites and social media pages before travelling. Some events may require pre-booking, and often, they sell out fast!
It would also be great if you could spare a moment of your time to share my blog or social media with friends and family; these guides take a lot of my spare time to research and create. Every share helps more people discover fun and keeps this blog thriving. Thanks so much for being part of the journey! 🌟
50 Low-Cost or Free Halloween Events in the West Midlands
The attractions listed here are priced at £10 or less per person (mostly under £8), with some offering free entry. These exciting events provide better value compared to other Halloween experiences that can cost £20 or more per person (some I've seen even priced at £50pp). Hopefully, there’s something for everyone on this list.
There are also plenty of free pumpkin patches, where you just pay for the pumpkins you pick. If you would like to find a pumpkin patch near you, head to my blog "100 Places to Go Pumpkin Picking in the Midlands."
