krystalcool Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hey! It?s 27 Oglander road here ( the famous house on halloween!) I?ve been decorating the house every year for the past 8 years and it?s been a huge success every time! I?ve been wondering whether there?ll be any trick or treating this year due to COVID? I?ll still be decorating the house as usual, but I?m wondering whether trick or treating will be going on as usual, so I know whether to buy sweets, as usually I have over 150 children trick or treating. What do you guys think? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/267431-halloween-during-covid-era/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I normally get 60 - 70 Children Trick Or Treating each year and cater for that amount. I will not be participating this year. I think numbers will be much much smaller this year. Sorry folks. I Do hope next year will be back to normal.

northernmonkey Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 people I know decorating houses so that kids can go out and walk round the neighbourhood looking for spooky decorations, but no trick or treating. The idea is that parents give out sweets to their own kids- eg every time they see a bat/ monster whatever you pick then you hand out a sweet or give them once you get back. Hopefully this way kids can enjoy Halloween safely outdoors but without knocking on doors and neighbours can enjoy decorating for it!

SpringTime Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 As long as everyone wears masks it should be fine. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/267431-halloween-during-covid-era/#findComment-1462254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Though many people who would otherwise stock-up with treats may not be able (or wish) to access shops or think that such things should take up their necessary grocery delivery order.

northernmonkey Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Whish is why the treasure hunt thing works well - go and look for decorated houses - only those who want to decorate do it and then give the sweets you buy to your own kids rather than loads of different ones. Different but still fun and no masses of kids arriving en masse Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/267431-halloween-during-covid-era/#findComment-1462263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnie Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I would like to bag up sweets and leave them to collect, rather than my usual grubby fingered bowls of sweeties. We will bag them with proper PPE stuff worn. Is that an OK idea? The pathos of a little kid taken round after 9 pm, when most sweets have gone, by late to home working parents, has always broken my heart. This year it is a generation, how can we make it fun for them. I'm saying this as a 56 yr old grumpy bloke who thinks Halloween is American bollocks, but won't anyone think of the children?

Pugwash Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Walked down Melbourne Grove to Grove Vale yesterday and was intrigued by nets in trees and mock gravestones tied to trees with 'Be very afraid' and other comments. After seeing this several times realized that many of the houses and gardens were decorated with pumpkins and other Halloween items. So assume that these local residents were indicating that they were up for trick and treating.
