Halloween Highlights 2025: From Pumpkin Patches to Dragons


In October 2025, Big Foot Events brought Halloween to life across the UK with spine-tingling fun, creative workshops, and show-stopping performances – all designed to leave audiences bewitched and delighted!

The Brief

Our wonderful clients approached us to create events throughout October, leading up to Halloween. From shopping centres to students’ unions, each client had different aims, audiences, and concepts for their celebrations. We were thrilled to be part of such a busy, spooky season!

The Challenges

With a packed schedule of events across multiple venues, our challenge was to ensure every celebration was exceptional. Entertainment had to appeal to a range of audiences, encourage footfall, and celebrate the magic of Halloween!

The Solutions

We carefully selected entertainment from Big Foot Events’ abundance of spooky options to suit each client’s needs. Workshops, roaming performers, props, and music were all tailored to deliver memorable experiences. Throughout, we worked closely with our clients to ensure they were confident they would have a frightfully good experience!

The Results
Workshops & Hands-on Activities

Our hands-on Workshops were a highlight, encouraging children to get creative with arts, crafts, and magical activities. Our ‘Mask Making’ Workshop inspired children to design their own homemade Halloween costumes, while ‘Make Your Own Wand’ allowed budding wizards to craft magical wands. A ‘Potions’ Workshop created enchanting fun for all ages, and a team of talented Face Painters added a finishing touch to the creative experiences.

Halloween Workshops
Live Performers

We provided live musical entertainment with tribute performances, including Chappell Roan UK at Glasgow University. We even hosted a Dinosaur Disco with our giant T Rex!

Props & Installations

For picture-perfect moments, we designed Halloween Prop scenes and installations across multiple venues. Interactive Pumpkin Patches popped up at the Helena Thompson Museum, Red Dragon Centre, and Mill Gate Shopping Centre, while a full Halloween prop scene transformed the White Rose Shopping Centre.

Roaming & Walkabout Performers

Our roaming performers delighted audiences of all ages. From eerie Wednesday characters and Pumpkin Heads to magical Wicked favourites – Glinda, Elphaba, and Scarecrow (oh my!) – Glo Heads, and mischievous Hocus Pocus witches, there was never a dull moment. or our client Bradford BID, we also brought a selection of enchanting performers for their Wizard Spectacular, including the Dragon Master, Ord the Ogre, and Esme & Beastie. One of the standout stars of our Halloween events was Dreygo the Dragon – wowing audiences with his 15ft wingspan, smoke-breathing nostrils, and thunderous roar.
