Hotlist: A Halloween special
A couple of treats, but mostly tricks
Egyptomania@ The Ashmolean
In all likelihood, this probably won’t be particularly scary, but the entry’s free and you get to spend your very own Night at the Museum (with the added bonus that Ben Stiller won’t be there).
When: Friday
Where: The Ashmolean
Details: Here
The Subways@ The O2 Academy
Dirty, dyed black-haired grunge band. Yeah, you’ll be sure to see a few zombies and odd-balls at this one…
When: Friday
Where: O2 Academy
Details: Here
Bill Spectre’s Ghost Trail@ Oxford…?
This is on all year round, but if you are ever planning on actually doing this rather than scowling as you walk him and his assortment of gullible tourists, tonight is the night.
When: Friday
Where: Broad Street
Details: Here
Halloween Entertainment@ Blenheim Palace
For all you day-trippers and thrill-seekers, here’s an ambiguously named event at a national heritage site.
When: Friday
Where: Blenheim Palace
Details: Here
Battle of the Barons@ Cellar
Basically just another garage night in Oxford’s best loved basement that happens to fall on Halloween.
When: Friday
Where: The Cellar
Details: Here
Halloween Spooktacular@ The Fir Tree
If you’ve got this far I applaud you because this is really scraping the barrel – just look at the name for christ’s sake.
When: I think it’s obvious by now
Where: The Fir Tree (Iffley Road)
