Halloween Leeds 2025

Halloween Leeds takes over the city on Saturday 31 October, with a free programme of parties, pumpkin patches, film nights and performers spread across Leeds. It's not a single event in one spot; it's a citywide thing, so you'll find venues and public spaces transformed with Halloween decorations and themed entertainment all over the place.

The organisers describe it as accessible to all ages and groups, from families to groups of friends, and they've billed it as a highlight of the autumn calendar. Because it's spread across the city rather than tied to one venue, you can pick and choose what fits your night — a pumpkin patch with the kids in the afternoon, a film night later on, or a party to end the evening. The mix of parties, film nights and performers means there's a bit for different crowds, and since it's free to attend, you can drift between them without worrying about the cost.

It kicks off at 18:00, so the evening is when things really get going. With the decorations and themed entertainment appearing in public spaces as well as venues, the city itself becomes part of the event rather than just the backdrop. It's a citywide programme, and it's free to attend.
