5 Fun Activities for Spooky Season (and How to Stay Prepared for Each One!)

Spooky season is upon us, and it’s time to embrace the chills and thrills of Autumn. Whether you’re into haunted houses or cozy pumpkin picking, this time of year offers something for everyone. To make sure you enjoy all the fun without worrying about forgetting essentials, we’ve put together a guide to the best activities this spooky season—along with tips to keep your bag packed with everything you need!

1. Go Trick-or-Treating

Relive your childhood fun or take the kids out for a night of trick-or-treating! Whether you're wandering your local area or heading to an event, trick-or-treating is an absolute classic that never goes out of style.

To hold all your treats and a flashlight to light your path, our spacious Mayfair Plus is perfect for storing all your goodies while keeping your essentials organized in the front pocket.

2. Pumpkin Picking

Looking for a cozy autumn outing? Head to a local patch and pick the perfect pumpkins for your home or your next carving session! Enjoy the crisp air, browse through the vibrant pumpkins, and perhaps indulge in some delicious seasonal treats while you're there.

Bring along a water bottle to stay hydrated, wet wipes for muddy hands, and of course, don’t forget your Harrow tote for carrying any snacks or drinks you pick up along the way.

 3. Host a Horror Movie Night  

Nothing beats snuggling under a blanket with your friends or family while watching a horror movie marathon. Whether you’re into classics like ‘Hocus Pocus’ or the latest thrillers, make it a themed night with spooky snacks and decorations.

Okay, so maybe you won’t need much for this one, but you’ll definitely need an overnight bag like the Richmond Rucksack if you plan on staying at a friend’s for the ultimate scare fest!

4. Visit a Theme Park 

Get your adrenaline pumping by visiting a theme park that’s decked out for Halloween! Enjoy thrilling rides, haunted attractions, and seasonal shows that capture the spirit of the spooky season.

Things to remember: Comfortable shoes for walking all day are a must, a portable phone charger, and our stylish Chiswick Cargo Bag to keep your essentials safe and easily accessible.

5. Attend a Halloween Party

Whether you’re going all out with a costume or keeping it simple with some spooky makeup, a Halloween party is always a good time. You can even bring a dish to share or participate in a fun group activity, like a pumpkin carving contest or apple bobbing.

Our Metallic Gold City Bag is the perfect accessory for a pop of spooky glam to match your look.

Final Tip: Be Ready for Anything!

Whatever spooky activity you have planned, your bag should be the last thing you need to worry about. Make sure you’ve got all your essentials packed: phone, keys, lip balm, and maybe even an extra layer or umbrella (because you never know when spooky season will bring rain!). Find your match and get ready for all the fun this spooky season!
