When do you celebrate Haloween with kids in Dulwich?

[VALFR59]

It's the first year that I would be concern by haloween for my son, and I don't have a good knowledge of this event as we are French and in France, haloween is not really celebrated .

I would like to know:

- Which Weekend is haloween? this one or the next?

- Do you know some children's activities organised in the aerea (party,walk in the park or something else?)

And well adapt for small children as well (my son is only nearly two years old).

Thanks in advance for your advice.

It is only ever on 31 November - it's not a weekend affair

Dress up, get friends round - take children round local streets - knock on doors where a lit pumpkin is shown (in window or on windowsill or outside) - shout "Trick or Treat" - take a sweet - say thank you and wish them a Happy Halloween

Is the way it tends to go

do not knock on any doors where there are no decorations - do it from 6pm until 9pm at the latest

I would suggest that a toddler is too young -so just get a bowl of sweets - light a carved pumpkin and open the door and let your child hand them out

dress him up if you want to

Halloween seems to be from age 4 or 5 up

dulwich park cafe seem to have something on on monday daytime. Guessing it would be suitable for younger child. As others have said, more usual to do something with local friends/ trick or treat in your street etc.

Many thanks for these precious advices :)

It was helpfull!

So, we will put a light pumpkin in front of our house for Monday.

I think we will prepare a box full of sweets for children of the street and My "little ghost" son will offer it to to the kids when they will knock at the door

Have a nice WE
