Festival of Halloween

Essence Club is bringing the Festival of Halloween to Broom Hall Farm on Saturday 31 October, from 4:00pm through to midnight. This is the twelfth chapter in the series, and they're calling it their biggest one yet. The night brings back the Essence family alongside a crop of new artists, so there's a mix of the regulars and some fresh faces on the bill.

The main draw is the four immersive worlds you can walk through: Halloween Narnia, Day of the Disco Dead, Halloween Nightmares, and the Zebra of Oz Tavern. Each one is its own themed space, so you're not just standing in one room all night — you move between them as you go. If you're arriving early, there's a 2-for-1 on selected individual drinks between 4:00pm and 6:00pm, which is a decent way to start the evening before the main crowd settles in.

Tickets are in their third release, with a standard adult entry at £40. If you're planning on drinking, there's an Entry & Drinks Bundle for £60, which covers one adult and three alcoholic drink tokens. Tables are available on request. The whole thing runs from 4:00pm until midnight at Broom Hall Farm, Reading (Flat, Ascot, SL5 0DJ), on Halloween night.
