When is Halloween 2025?

All Hallows’ Eve, Samhain, Spooky Season – while it goes by many names, you’ll be pleased to hear that Halloween always falls on the same date. In the UK and beyond, Halloween is celebrated on the 31^st of October, with most of the festivities traditionally taking place after nightfall. Popular traditions range from fancy dress to trick-or-treating and include seasonal games like apple bobbing and pumpkin carving.

While Halloween began as an ancient pagan festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter, it’s since become a secular celebration of all things spooky. These days, the holiday is all about dressing up, decorating and embracing the eerier side of life. The perfect opportunity to give your home a monstrous makeover or swathe yourself in earthy autumn hues – Halloween home decor can be whatever you want it to be.

When to put Halloween Decorations up in the UK.

While the spooky season is known for unifying spirits in a worldwide celebration of the sinister, just when to start hoisting up that Halloween home decor remains a point of contention. Bloodthirsty bats and cursed gravestones spawn outside the homes of devoted fright fanatics from early September, while gothic grinches might only muster a cobweb or two in the days leading up.

There’s no traditional date for when Halloween decorations should be put up, so it’s more up to you and your desired aesthetic. Autumn officially begins on the 23^rd of September, which is arguably the earliest date for socially acceptable Halloween decorating. However, if you’re spook-obsessed and can’t wait to get your creep on, no one’s going to curse you for starting early. For a smooth seasonal transition, introduce earthy foliage shades like auburn, moss green and chestnut brown in autumn, and save your spookier accents until the first weekend of October.
