Windsor, Berkshire — Halloween weekend, Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November 2026. Looking for spooky family fun, a royal day out or an evening of fireworks? Windsor and the surrounding area have several Halloween-season events this weekend. Here is our guide to the key dates, prices and official booking pages. Please check availability and final timings with each organiser before travelling.

🏰 Windsor Castle: a family trail through history

Windsor Castle is hosting A Castle under Siege as a half-term activity from 24 October to 1 November 2026. Families can explore an activity inspired by the castle’s medieval siege history and pick up a children’s trail. It is not advertised as a dedicated Halloween party, but it offers a wonderfully atmospheric historical outing for the Halloween weekend.

Dates: Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November are within the advertised event period. Admission: the activity is included with castle admission; check ticket availability and any closures before setting off. The castle’s published winter opening hours begin on 1 November, so check the day-specific schedule.

🎃 Halloween fun at LEGOLAND Windsor

For families with younger monster-makers, LEGOLAND Windsor Resort’s Brick or Treat Halloween season runs on selected dates through Sunday 1 November. The resort advertises themed entertainment, LEGO Halloween scenes, character meet-and-greets, Lord Vampyre’s House Party and the Haunted House Monster Party attraction. It is a full theme-park day rather than a short town-centre event.

Tickets: the official page advertises prices from £37 per person, subject to date and availability. Check opening times, ride schedules and ticket conditions before booking.

Check dates and book Brick or Treat on the official LEGOLAND website.

👻 Windsor: The Dark Side — Halloween walking tour

Discover the town after dark on Windsor: The Dark Side, a Halloween walking tour exploring Windsor’s darker stories, royal tragedies, local folklore and tales of hauntings. The organiser’s listing gives two sessions on Saturday 31 October: 6.30pm–8pm and 8.30pm–10pm.

This is best suited to visitors who enjoy spooky storytelling and history on foot. Confirm the meeting point, age suitability, ticket availability and weather arrangements with the organiser.

🎆 Saturday night: Fireworks Spectacular at Ascot Racecourse

For a bigger evening out, Ascot Racecourse is advertising its Fireworks Spectacular Family Raceday for Saturday 31 October. The event combines the start of the jumps season with family entertainment and a fireworks display. It is in Ascot, a short trip from Windsor, rather than in the town itself.

Ticket types and prices can vary, so consult the organiser’s current information before travelling.

Find the event through Visit Windsor’s Halloween guide.

🧙 Halloween workshops at Norden Farm

On Saturday 31 October, Norden Farm Centre for the Arts in Maidenhead lists Halloween make-up workshops for children and young people, with sessions arranged for different age groups. This could be a good option for anyone who wants to create a costume look before trick-or-treating or a Halloween party.

Check the age groups, session times, materials included and remaining places before booking.

🎉 A Halloween party in Windsor

The Visit Windsor listings also advertise a Kids Halloween Party at The Old Court Artspace & Firestation Bar on Friday 30 October, from 4pm to 6pm. The listing describes fancy dress, games, dancing, a disco and a costume competition. As this event is on Friday rather than the main weekend days, check directly with the venue for any last-minute changes or remaining tickets.

Our Windsor Halloween recommendation

For a royal-themed day, combine Windsor Castle’s half-term trail with a walk through the historic town centre. Families seeking rides and costumed entertainment may prefer LEGOLAND’s Brick or Treat, while adults and older children who enjoy folklore could book The Dark Side walking tour. For Saturday evening, look into the Ascot fireworks, and book The Ivy breakfast in advance if you want a relaxed start to Halloween.

Before you go: event schedules, ticket prices and availability can change. Check the linked official organiser pages before travelling, and plan transport and parking ahead for Saturday evening.
