The Fright Crawl

The Fright Crawl is back across Liverpool for Halloween weekend 2026, running from Thursday 29 October through to Saturday 31 October. It's a city-wide bar crawl that the organisers bill as the city's number one and a Halloween night done properly. Rather than a single evening, it's spread over three days, so you can pick the session that fits your plans.

The format is straightforward: one wristband gets you into four or more bars, and you'll have a host and a live crawl map to guide you. The night-time takeovers run on Thursday 29 October and Friday 30 October, both from 7:30 pm to 2 am. That's about six and a half hours of crawling each night, so there's plenty of room to move between bars without rushing. If you're more of a daytime person, there's a separate party on Saturday 31 October from 1 pm to 8 pm, which the organisers lean into as a chance to dress up in broad daylight.

Because it's spread across the weekend, you can do one night and call it a day, or keep going. The Saturday daytime leg is a different beast from the night-time ones, so if you're not keen on the late-night crowd, that's your best bet. The whole thing is strictly over-18s, and the bars are spread across the city, so you'll be moving through different spots rather than staying in one place. The venues are to be announced, but it's all within Liverpool.

There's no cover charge, so you're just paying for your drinks as you go. The night sessions on Thursday and Friday run 7:30 pm to 2 am, and the Saturday daytime party goes from 1 pm to 8 pm.
