What's On in Liverpool

Kids Halloween Breakfast — Kick the day off with something brilliantly silly at The Lingmell Inn, where little monsters can fuel up on a spooky Halloween breakfast from 10:00am. It is the kind of event that turns a chaotic family morning into a proper memory, with costumes encouraged and the atmosphere gleefully ghoulish. Tickets run from £10 to £35, so it works for a treat-sized budget or a full family blowout.

Zap Graffiti Art class — Here is something genuinely different for families: a hands-on graffiti art class at ZAP GRAFFITI At RESURRECTION from 11:00am, where kids and grown-ups alike get to learn the craft behind those bold, beautiful walls you see across the city. At £24 it is affordable creativity that sends everyone home with skills rather than just a ticket stub. Expect spray cans, big ideas, and walls that will never look the same again.

BaBOOshka - Kazimier Garden 12 Hour Halloween Party — The Kazimier Garden is one of Liverpool's most magical outdoor spaces, and on Halloween it transforms into something altogether more bewitching for a full 12-hour party kicking off at 2:00pm. BaBOOshka promises the kind of marathon celebration where you lose track of time in the best possible way, dancing under open skies as the night closes in around you. Check the website for pricing and make absolutely sure you have a costume worthy of the occasion.

Paradisco In Sefton Park Palm House — If you want Halloween with genuine wow factor, picture dancing inside the Victorian glass and iron splendour of the Palm House in Sefton Park from 7:00pm. Paradisco turns this extraordinary building into a disco wonderland, and the combination of that architecture, the music, and the fancy-dress crowd makes for an evening that feels almost surreal in the best way. Tickets are £25 to £35 and they will sell out, so do not sit on this one.

Graeme Park, Todd Terry & More at Freeze Project — Two genuine house music legends on the same night in one room — Graeme Park and Todd Terry at Freeze Project from 8:00pm is the kind of booking that stops serious dance music fans in their tracks. This is proper heritage house, the music that built the culture, delivered by the people who actually lived it. At £8 to £15 it is also one of the most outrageously good-value tickets of the whole Halloween weekend.

Triple Headline Comedy — Not everyone wants to spend Halloween in a strobe-lit warehouse, and Hot Water Comedy Club at Blackstock Market has the perfect alternative from 7:00pm: three headline comedians on one stage for a flat £18. Hot Water is one of the best comedy spots in the north of England and this triple-bill format means you get serious bang for your buck, surrounded by a crowd that came to laugh rather than be scared. A genuinely great grown-up Halloween that requires absolutely no costume.
