About

People’s Park, Ballymena will host one of the scariest nights of the year on Friday 30 October from 18:00 – 20.30! (Quiet hour from 17:00 – 18:00)  The free event will thrill and chill with a packed programme of spooktacular activities for all your little monsters to enjoy!

With a fire juggling display, a fancy dress competition, spooky walkabout characters, a kids funfair and live music – there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Follow the extended spooky illumination trail throughout the park and bump into some familiar characters along the way.

You can sink your fangs into some sweet treats or tasty hot food to beat those Halloween hunger pangs. The fun and festivities will finish with a fabulous fireworks finale at 20.20.  Wandering ghouls and spine tingling figures will be ready to spook you at every turn with a few hair-raising special additions!

To help with a safe set-up of the site People’s Park will be closed to all members of the public on Thursday 30 October until the event starts at 17:00.

For everyone’s safety, NO dogs, alcohol or personal fireworks are permitted in the park. Under-16s must have a responsible adult with them. This is a ticket only event with fixed entry time slots. No access without an advance ticket.
