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.

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?

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.
