Halloween is just around the corner. What is not to love about the autumn feel in the air, dressing up in the ghastliest costume and enjoying autumn-inspired food and drinks?
Halloween in Sussex means there is plenty to see in do. Perhaps you fancy visiting a pumpkin patch, or submitting to Halloween frivolities at Tulleys Farm?
Halloween is not just for kids, I for one adore this time of year. There are plenty of varied Halloween events in Sussex for adults also.
You could don your spookiest costume and head to an all-day Halloween Drum and Bass gig or enjoy a spooky evening at the Booth Museum.
