September’s unexpected heatwave is now behind us as we’ve officially entered Autumn… which means it’s not long until Halloween!

The spooky annual holiday is a favourite of many – from young trick or treaters to celebrities such as Heidi Klum and the Kardashians.

It’s a time to dress up in scary easy-to-make costumes, carve the perfect pumpkin, hang some eerie (but eco–friendly) decorations, and watch horror movies galore.

Perhaps you might be keen to learn more about the history of All Hallows Eve, and where its traditions, like trick or treating, come from – including the Pagan festival of Samhain.

We all know Halloween takes place on October 31, but what day does the date fall on this year?

What day is Halloween 2023?

Halloween 2023 will happen on a Tuesday.

Last year, Halloween took place on a Monday. Next year, in 2024, Halloween will take place on a Thursday and in 2025 it’s on a Friday.

We won’t have a Halloween weekend again until 2026, when the holiday falls on a Saturday.

So, there you have it. But if the spooky stuff isn’t your thing, fear not.

This time of year is perfect for sampling autumnal drinks, curling up with a new book, trying a new pumpkin recipe or decorating your home with autumnal trends.

Autumn officially starts on either September 23 or September 1, depending on whether you go by the astrological or meteorological method of deciding, so go wild.
