Student-friendly Halloween night with spooky drinks, haunted special effects and full Halloween decor at O'Neill's Market Square.
Nightmare Halloween Experience is back at O'Neill's Market Square Nottingham on Saturday 31 October, starting at 20:00. It's the organisers' biggest student Halloween event in the UK, returning for 2026 after last year sold out in record time.
They're going bigger this year, with the venue taking over for the night. You'll find full Halloween decor across the space, spooky drinks on the go, and haunted special effects to set the mood. Fancy dress is encouraged, though it's not compulsory, so you can go all out with a costume or just turn up as you are.
One thing that's worth knowing is that it's student-friendly rather than student-only. Guests, friends from home, and partners are all welcome, so it works as a group night out as much as a student one. If you're bringing people from outside the city, it's a good spot to gather everyone in one place for the night.
