Now that October is officially upon us, here’s the ultimate list to get in the spooky spirit
Spooky season has arrived in Leeds. It’s the time where autumn leaves blanket Hyde Park, pumpkins are smashed outside your doorstep, Uggs are getting soaked in the rain and uni assignments are picking up. Nevertheless, there’s plenty to look forward to, to get you out of your ghostly gloom.
So, here’s the Leeds Halloween guide that’ll boost your scare season.
Locked In Games
If you love a good challenge then locked in games is the place to be, not too far from Hyde Park for second and third year students; the escape rooms will be sure to give you a good scare and put you in the spooky spirit.
Hyde Park Picture House
Now if you prefer to take a back seat from the action, you can watch it all unfold at HPPH. In the centre of Hyde Park, hard to miss in all its architectural glory, this cinema has all the scare-filled showings for any horror fanatic.
From jump-scares, thrillers and horror, to your wholesome Halloween classics, catered to all tastes. Grab a seat and a festive snack, even if you’re boo’ing on a budget as it’s a convenient walk away from the 24 hour Sainsbury’s.
Lush ‘boo basket’
Here’s a wholesome one for the Halloween and bath lovers. Boyfriend duties are made easy as you can create your very own boo basket at Lush; whether it’s an activity you do with your friends or a nice gesture for a Halloween-crazed friend or partner sending you those TikTok hints.
Get creative and build up your personalised boo basket and get seasonal with your next self-care evening.
