Campfire & chills

23/10/2026

Halloween is creeping closer. Who says it has to be celebrated indoors? This year, take the spooky festivities outside and turn your back garden into a haunted campsite. Bring the family along, or make it a date with someone you wouldn’t mind holding on to when something rustles outside. After all, ghost stories may be optional, but believing them after dark is surprisingly easy.

Set your spooky stay

Every good horror story needs the right setting. Pitch a tent, gather around for ghost stories and keep a torch nearby, just in case that noise outside wasn’t the wind after all. As the light fades, a small lamp keeps unfamiliar shadows from becoming too convincing. When it’s time to turn in, an inflatable mattress adds a little comfort. Whether you actually close your eyes is another matter.

The devil is in the details

Even a haunted hideaway deserves a few home comforts. Scatter cushions around the tent and keep a blanket ready for the evening chill. It might end up over your head during the scarier stories. A soft glow and a few spooky touches set the mood for a Halloween evening that feels cosy enough to stay out past sunset.

Serving up a little spooky

Set out a few savoury bites, something sweet and dips to pass around before the storytelling starts. Little pots and sharing bowls keep everything within reach when the next ghost story is too good to leave. And if the snacks disappear before you’ve had your share, don’t blame the ghosts. Check who’s sitting next to you.
