Spooky Events to get You in the Halloween Spirit

Wednesday 23-10-2024 - 09:31

 

Spooky season is upon us…

 


 
It was a cold and stormy night in Lancaster, when all throughout campus something terrible happened. Something truly terrifying; something so shocking it made students scream. For they had… nothing… to… do!
 
Just kidding!
 
Just a little trick before we give you all the treats. Yup, Halloween is quickly chasing us (thankfully without a chainsaw), and if you’re not already in the spooky spirit then we’re here to help!
 
There are all sorts of truly spine-chilling stuff going on around campus. So sit back with your hot chocolate and your horror films, while we give you the rundown:
 

The SugarHouse of Horrors

Prepare yourself to see Sugar as you’ve never seen it before. Totally transformed in this immersive event by Visual Architects, join us on Halloween night (Thursday 31st October) as we open the doors to the SugarHouse of Horrors!
 
A night full of scares and fun, Lancaster legend DJ Griff will be taking over the Clubroom to provide you with the scarily good soundtrack your Halloween deserves. Of course, costumes are optional but incredibly encouraged. You can grab your tickets online here - quick! Before they all dissapear.. 
 
 

Zero Waste HallowGreen Decor

Over 2,000 tonnes of extra plastic waste are created every Halloween in the UK – if that doesn’t give you a fright, we don’t know what will!
 
Create your own sustainable decorations with LUSU Green including leaf lanterns and old bedsheet ghosts. If possible, please bring your own glass jar (can be an old pasta sauce or candle!)
 
All you have to do is turn up to the Work in Progress on Tuesday 29th October from 12:00PM.
 
 

HallowGreen Workshop

Interested in how to be more sustainable at Halloween? Come along on Tuesday 29th October, from 10:30AM – 11:30AM, for LUSU Green’s interactive workshop on all things sustainability. Here, we’ll be talking about costumes, pumpkins and more!
 
You will collaboratively create ideas that address the challenges for sustainability around Halloween and co-create solutions. This session is for anyone interested in sustainability or keen to learn more!
 
 

Halloween Markets

Love a good Halloween shop? Then look no further.
 
On Halloween, our Thursday Farmer’s Market will be getting a spine-tingling transformation of its own as we unfold our creation – the Halloween Markets!
 
Stop by for some Halloween goodness – who knows what you might find!


 
Colleges

And don’t forget your colleges! They will be busy coming up with their own haunting events for you to join in the fun, so keep an eye out on their Instagrams to keep in the know!
 

Plus, so much more to really sink those vampire teeth into! Keep an eye out on our Instagram, as well as your fave societies and your colleges to see what Halloween celebrations they’ve got cooking up in their cauldrons.
 
We’ll see you guys this Halloween… if you dare…
