Family Halloween walk
Join a free family Halloween walk through Clerkenwell and discover the area’s spooky history. Explore the former graveyard at Spa Fields and hear tales of local ghosts, rascals and mysterious happenings along the way.
Children must be accompanied by an adult, and fancy dress is encouraged. Bring something noisy, such as a whistle, rattle or pan lids, to help scare away the Clerkenwell ghosts. Walks last around 45 to 60 minutes.
Dates:
- Thursday 29 October, 12pm – Spa Fields, Northampton Road, EC1R 0DF
- Friday 30 October, 12pm – St James Church Garden, EC1R 0LT
