Enjoy the flavours of autumn at the Farmers’ Market with prizes for the spookiest stall, scariest stallholder and best Halloween product. Come dressed for Halloween to enjoy free cake and enter spooky competitions — bring your carved pumpkin for the best pumpkin prize, guess the weight of our giant pumpkin, and play Ghostbusters to find the hidden ghosts around the market and win a treat!

Step into the shadows this Halloween, for an unearthly evening of YA Romantasy with authors Rosie Talbot, Ova Ceren, and Marisa Linton. Prepare to be lured by witches, entangled in dark curses, and swept into the ancient magic of celtic folklore if you dare. Book signing to follow.

Join Cass Art for their Halloween-themed Monoprint workshop. Details to follow.

This spooky season, take a stroll down the yellow brick road and into The Ivy Collection as it transforms into The Ivy Emerald City. With a magical dessert, perfectly pink and gloriously green cocktails and captivating live entertainment, Halloween is not to be missed this year at The Ivy.

Free, non-ticketed event for all.

Kensington is set to go barking mad this Halloween as Independent design boutique Fable & Mirth hosts its inaugural Great Kensington Dog Parade. The paw-sitively delightful costume parade, will take place at 4.30pm within Holland Park’s Playful Park of Peculiar and will see four-legged fashionistas (and their humans) strut in spooky, silly and creative costumes, with proceeds going to Dogs Trust.

Back by popular demand, the "spooktacular" after-hours tours at Sambourne House return for one night only on All Hallows’ Eve. Treat yourself to a night of intrigue and drama and hear from Mrs Sambourne herself, as she tells her guests about all things Victorian.

Something strange is happening at SABA on 31 October from 20:00-2:00.
Parasite is the theme so use your imagination (mandatory of course) with special guest DJs playing all night.
In classic SABA style there will be KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and other goodies for the early birds.

London’s most stylish vintage street market returns with its signature line-up of mid-century furniture, fashion, homewares, art and design but with a darkly decadent edge (think grand candelabras, Victoriana gowns, black lace and moody florals).

Alongside the curated vintage stalls, there will be pumpkin carving, street food, hot chocolate and autumnal treats to ensure those browsing stay toasty, warm and entertained.
