The town centre will undergo a spooky transformation this October… Thrills, chills and shocks await those who attend this year’s biggest family Halloween party.

October 29 sees the return of the Swindon Screams annual event, but will be moving to the town centre this year for the first time! InSwindon BID is delighted to be producing this event with Skywalkers – be prepared to be scared!

If your kids love to get spooky and dress up for Halloween then this is the event for you! There will be plenty of family-friendly activities  for all to enjoy.

The festivities will see iconic film villains and hero’s such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Beetle Juice and Hagrid. Children will also get to put on their best scary costume for the Halloween fancy dress competition.

The ferocious T-Rex is set to make a roaring appearance throughout the event, so there will be plenty of photo opportunities.

There will also be a children’s disco with Halloween host, Zombies, games and an opportunity for visitors to sit in a former electric chair. To add a little magic to the event, you will also get a chance to meet Hagrid lookalike from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

There will a performance from Swindon Dance titled Watching. A spooky, yet exciting dance performance that guarantees a thrilling ride. Plus, Julie Scotts Academy will be showing off their spooky moves - watch if you dare...
