The Blackpool Tower is preparing for a spooky October half-term with a trio of Halloween-themed events aimed at visitors of all ages.
The landmark attraction will host a family Halloween party, welcome a special guest to The Blackpool Tower Dungeon and bring back its after-hours Dungeon Lates experience.
Family Halloween Party
On Friday 30 October, the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom will be transformed into a Halloween party venue for families. Guests can expect pumpkins, cobwebs and spooky surprises, alongside Russ Brown's Monster Magic Show and a Halloween-themed disco hosted by a live DJ.
Fancy dress is encouraged, with prizes available in the costume competition. There will also be games and family entertainment throughout the evening.

Doctor Frankenstein joins the Dungeon
The Blackpool Tower Dungeon will also be getting into the Halloween spirit, with a special guest joining the attraction for a limited time.
For the past 15 years, visitors have been transported into Lancashire's darkest history at the Dungeon, encountering notorious characters, chilling tales and unexpected jump scares. This Halloween, those brave enough to enter will have the chance to meet the legendary Doctor Frankenstein, who will be greeting unsuspecting guests throughout the autumn until 7 November.
For visitors looking for a more intense Halloween experience, Dungeon Lates will return throughout October. The over-18s experience will run every Friday evening during the month, as well as on Halloween night itself.
Guests who dare to descend into the Dungeon after hours can expect additional scares, darker themes and extra surprises. Tickets are available from £15, while local residents with an FY postcode can receive discounts of up to 50% off.

"October is always a fantastic time of year at The Blackpool Tower and we're looking forward to welcoming families, friends and thrill-seekers to enjoy everything we have planned.”
