What's On in Liverpool

Zap Graffiti Art class — Start the day with a can in hand at Resurrection, where Zap Graffiti's hands-on art class lets families and budding street artists loose on walls in a proper, guided session. Running at both 11:00am and 1:30pm, it's a brilliant antidote to passive screen time — creative, loud, and genuinely skill-building. At £24 a head, it's a half-day memory that'll outlast any costume.

Tim Burton's Universe by Mystery Ensemble — Inside the jaw-dropping Gothic grandeur of St George's Hall, Mystery Ensemble bring the dark, whimsical worlds of Tim Burton to life through live orchestral performance — think Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Nightmare Before Christmas given a full cinematic score treatment. With doors at 6:30pm and tickets from £17 to £42, this is Halloween done with serious theatrical elegance. It may well be the most perfectly timed concert this city has seen all year.

An Evening With Todd Terry at The Palm House - Liverpool — House music legend Todd Terry takes over the breathtaking Victorian glasshouse of the Palm House in Sefton Park from 7:00pm, turning one of Liverpool's most beautiful spaces into an intimate dance floor. Terry's fingerprints are all over the history of New York house, and hearing him play somewhere this extraordinary is genuinely a bucket-list moment. Tickets range from £0 to £35 — and if you want to keep the energy going, his afterparty runs from 11:00pm at Freeze Project.

Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel - performed LIVE at Camp and Furnace — Two of the most singular artists in British music history get a full live tribute treatment inside Camp and Furnace's atmospheric industrial space from 7:00pm. This is not a karaoke affair — expect soaring vocals, theatrical flair, and a room full of people who know every word to Wuthering Heights and Sledgehammer. At £12 to £15, it's one of the best-value evenings on the city's October calendar.

TOMB : EBM, Industrial, Techno, Goth, Post Punk — For those who like their Halloween with genuine bite, TOMB at Commune Liverpool from 7:00pm is the real thing — a dark, sweaty, committed night of EBM, industrial, techno, goth, and post-punk that treats the season as a spiritual home rather than a fancy-dress excuse. Entry costs just £5 to £6, making it one of the most affordable and most authentically atmospheric options of the evening. Wear black. Mean it.

Don't F**k with Disco, Halloween in Liverpool — From 10:00pm, The Dome hosts what promises to be one of the biggest Halloween disco events in the city — all sequins, mirror balls, and floor-filling classics served up in one of Liverpool's most lavish venues. At £32 it's a considered night out, but the scale, the sound, and the sheer spectacle of a Halloween disco done properly at The Dome makes this one worth every penny. Come dressed, come ready, and don't you dare sit down.
