Spooky Things To Do During Summer Holidays

If you're struggling to keep the kids entertained over the six week holidays, or perhaps you're planning a family trip away but can't decide where to go, Hunting Horror is here to help.

We've listed some spooky activities for the most fiendish of families to get your fangs into this summer, so you can have your most sinister summer yet!

Spooky Day Guides

On our 'Store' page, you'll find an array of digital guides for a spooky day out. All of our guides are based in the UK and provide a full itinerary of spooky, horror-themed, haunted, and dark historic attractions, suitable for all ages. If you're looking for a multi-day getaway, why not pair our York Day Guide with our Whitby Day Guide, and spend an entire weekend exploring the dark depths of North Yorkshire?

Watermelon Carving

We've all heard of pumpkin carving, but why not try carving a watermelon with your favourite spooky design instead? It's a great activity for the kids, plus you get a sweet and refreshing treat after gutting the fruit, so what's not to love?

Spooky Colouring Books

Admit it. No matter what your age is, colouring books are always a fun activity, and they can be really relaxing too! There are plenty of spooky colouring books to get your claws into if you'd rather relax in the shade, like the vampire you really are. Below I have linked some of my favourites that you can find for an affordable price on Amazon!

Host a Haunting Picnic or BBQ

Whether with friends of family, why not host a themed picnic under the sun? Pinterest has a haul of great spooky ideas in terms of themed picnic food and treats. Plus, below I've featured some of my favourite items and accessories for a Summerween themed picnic.

These cute little buckets are perfect to get the kids to help carry your load! Why not load them with popcorn, sweets, and other treats. You can of course reuse them at Halloween too, win win!

Halloween Inflatable Drinks Cooler

These spooky inflatable drinks coolers are perfect for hosting groups, especially if you're planning on having the odd beer or chilled drink. They make the perfect accessory to any Summerween BBQ!
