For the 2026 spooky season, Curious Legends are bringing frighteningly fun festivities back to Wallsend!
Curious Legends are a local arts organisation best known for their spectacular community events featuring large-scale illuminated mobile puppet performances for children and families.
They have partnered with local businesses, WOW Wallsend and City of Newcastle’s SBR program to bring you Wallsend Frights: A Ghastly Haunting.
Wallsend Frights – A Ghastly Haunting (31 October)
To celebrate Halloween, Wallsend Frights will be at Wallsend Park this year with a free community event on Saturday 31 October from 4pm to 8pm.
This family-friendly event promises to be a night you won’t forget. Ghosts, witches, pumpkins and zombies alike, be summoned to the fields of Wallsend park, where we shall celebrate with games, crafts and entertainment.
This year’s Ghastly Haunting will see a revival of most of our old spooks, crafting, quests, face painting, plus more giant puppets and roving performers for entertainment.
Bring the family around and dress to distress! Expect fun, spooky thrills and roving characters.
Bring a picnic rug to sit on as food and drinks will be available for purchase.
