Sorry for the late update in Halloween activities in and around South Yorkshire this year (2022) Have a look at some of the Halloween events and parties planned for families near you.
What family friendly Halloween events are going on near me this Half term?
I am glad you asked because there’s ton’s going on to keep the children and family happy, not just on Halloween night, but though out the week to keep the little ones entertained this half term, from Pumpkin Picking, crafts, discos, and ghoulish fun for toddlers.
Here at South Yorkshire Mobility, we believe it is vital to support our local communities and other local business and events, especially after what many businesses have gone through this past year or so. I have compiled a list of Halloween events in Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster, plus a few events that just had to get a mention, on the edges of our beautiful County so you can plan in advance what to do with your family.
Rotherham family and children's Halloween events
Hooton Lodge

Wentworth Woodhouse
Wentworth
Rotherham
S62 7TQ
Wentworth Woodhouse is spectacular any day of the week, and children and adults from the surrounding areas will all have fond memories of #WentworthWoodhouse and it's grounds. For me, riding my bike up and down the paths on Christmas day whilst Reindeer pranced in the fields sticks out along with many more ..... The great news is more chances to see inside the incredible building have taken place in recent times and this Halloween this legendary haunted stately home has an incredible event planned in the usually forbidden stables!

The Steel Cauldron Spooner Road
Sheffield
S10 5BL
If you haven't experienced the Steel Cauldron, let me just say... It is an absolute must. Think of every Wizard film going with a big dollop of Harry Potter, think Witches, fantasy and folk lore, with delicious food that caters for every dietary requirement. This is just on a standard every day day ! The atmosphere here is wonderful and enchanting. It is perfect for children with growing imaginations. My last visit to the #SteelCauldron was to see one of the only socially distanced Santa's going. Let me just say it was just a wonderful almost normal hour in what was a very difficult December, they made the kids Christmas so special! I got my yearly photos of them with Santa, they were treated fantastically and I simply cannot wait to visit during Halloween as I have heard it is the perfect place to enjoy a Spooktacular Halloween!

Trunk or Junk
Excel Martial Arts
Long Acre Way
Holbrook
S20 3FS
Now I have to say I had never heard of Trunk or Treat but this is also what pricked up my interest. A little #google later and it turns out that this is a fairly new American tradition started by the Church to create a safer environment for children to "trick or treat" in a publicly decided place with supervision. #goodidea
I really like this idea, however I'm not sure if I could create a good Trunk display of Halloween goodies amongst the kids coats, smelly trainers, sports kits, babies bottles, old fruit shoots and McDonalds toys ...but perhaps you could! Excel Martial Arts are brining this fantastically American tradition to Sheffield. Why not pop down and give it a go?
The information provided for this event by Excel Martial Arts is :
An American tradition, drivers and their families decorate their cars for Halloween, sometimes creating elaborate scenes out of their trunks. Then kids walk from vehicle to vehicle, collecting candy the way they would during a normal trick-or-treating outing.
Prizes for best trunk!
Saturday 29th October 4:00pm-7:30pm. FREE ENTRY!

This outing really is back to nature and shows the children how a pumpkin grows, live and then picked. It's convenient, doesn't fill the whole day but keeps the little ones entertained and it is just so enjoyable being outside on a cris
Autumn day choosing your pumpkin, popping it in your wheel barrow and then taking it home to carve. Highly recommended!
