Spooky Times Ahead for Fulham Families
Halloween events at Parsons Green, Fulham Pier and Sands End
The Pumpkin Patch on Parsons Green
October 26, 2026
This October, West London transforms into an enchanted autumn wonderland packed with glowing pumpkins, friendly frights, and spellbinding experiences for the whole family this Halloween. Whether you are looking for immersive trick-or-treating, creative pumpkin carving, or creepy crawly encounters, there is something for ghouls and goblins of all ages.
Parsons Green is once more turning into a vibrant world of pumpkins, glowing lanterns, and friendly characters. Visitors can choose from two magical experiences—or combine both for the spooky autumn day out from 24 October to 1 November. The activities run from 10am to 7pm with tickets from £7.50.
- Trick-or-Treat Lane: Step through the enchanted archway into a glowing world of colourful doors and mysterious surprises. Gather for a spellbinding story before knocking on doors to meet friendly characters, hear enchanting tales, play tricks, and enjoy delicious sweet treats in a safe, immersive environment.
- The Pumpkin Patch: Wander through winding, picture-perfect paths lined with seasonal displays and roaming performers. Choose your ideal pumpkin to take home as a memorable keepsake.
What’s New for 2026?
- Play Zone: Packed with interactive seasonal games such as Jack-O'-Lantern Toss, Giant Halloween Connect Four, Pumpkin Bowling, Hook-a-Spooky Duck, and Pumpkins and Crosses.
- SMASH Day (1 November): Get messy at the Spiky Pumpkin Board and Splat Wall. Even better, all pumpkin waste is recycled into eco-friendly biofuel!
Sands End Arts & Community Centre (SEACC), and Parsons Green & Bloom for two days of creative Halloween fun on 30 and 31 October. You can pick your pumpkin straight from the patch and design it on-site using provided equipment and basic carving materials. The activity finishes with a Best Pumpkin Competition, complete with a prize for the winning design. Sessions, which need to be prebooked through the centre’s web site, run from 11am to 6pm and cost £8 per participant. SEACC is on Peterborough Road.
Escape "Into the Woods" along the riverside at Fulham Pier, where haunting woodland decorations already set the scene for a mix of free and ticketed spooky activities over half-term week.
- Free & Frightful Family Fun (26–31 October): Drop-in sessions featuring live entertainment, Halloween bracelet making, Kids Table arts & crafts, and daily trick-or-treats.
- Creepy Crawly Encounters with ZooLab (Tuesday, 28 October | 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Get hands-on with interactive animal sessions featuring scorpions, giant millipedes, tarantulas, and more.
- Adult Carving & Cocktails: Special pumpkin carving workshops paired with seasonal cocktails.
- Silent Discos & Cult Screenings: Enjoy haunting silent discos or join the spooky screening of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Show on 31 October from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
