It’s the first week back to school after half term, but that doesn’t mean that the half term fun has to stop right away. It’s also the week of Halloween and Bonfire night, so as you can imagine, there’s a fair amount going on in Kent this week.
The Addams Family, The Musical Comedy
When: 31st October-1st November
Where: The Orchard Theatre, Dartford
The Addams Family is a well loved film, a Halloween classic, and now you can watch the musical comedy version on stage right here in Kent. There will be performances at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford, from Tuesday to Saturday, starring Les Dennis, Eastenders’ star Samantha Womack, and Carrie Hope Fletcher. This is a performance not to be missed.
Fort Amerherst Halloween Horrors
When: 30th-31st October
Where: Fort Amerherst, Chatham
If you fancy being scared senseless, head to Fort Amerherst for their Halloween Horrors in the tunnels. It’s not all about indulging in terror though, as there’ll also be a BBQ, bar, and a fun fair. This also an event that everyone can enjoy, as there are different times, and levels of scariness, for all ages.
Kent Ghost Stories for Halloween with Neil Arnold
When: 31st October 7pm
Where: Pluckley Village Hall
If you love hearing scary stories, where better to hear them than in the country’s most haunted village? And who better to tell them than Neil Arnold, a Kent author and folklorist?
Head to Pluckley Village Hall on Tuesday 31st October, and you’ll hear all about some of Kent’s spookiest myths.
Bonfire Night Events This Week
Bonfire Night falls on a Sunday this year, which means that there aren’t too many Bonfire Night Events that are actually on the 5th November. However, this could be a blessing in disguise, as rather than all of the county’s events falling on the same day, they’re all spread out over the weekend. So here are a few that you can attend this week! Be sure to also check out more details on the best Bonfire Night Events that Kent has to offer.
