It's that time of year again! Just like that, Halloween has crept up on us. I really don't know where this year has gone.
If you're looking for some lower-cost ideas for Halloween, here are 22 ideas organised by location. The ideas are a mix of just pumpkin patches to Halloween walks, and trails.
But. do remember, if you are a National Trust member, some locations across the Midlands are hosting Halloween activities and trails. This makes for a super cheap day out! Halloween trail maps usually cost £3, but you don't necessarily need a map to join in with all the fun!
