Halloween falls on 31 October every year. In the UK it is now a major family and retail occasion, with trick-or-treating, costumes, pumpkin carving, parties and seasonal food. The date itself does not move, but celebrations may shift to the nearest weekend when 31 October falls on a weekday. It comes just before Bonfire Night and near the point when clocks have gone back, so darker evenings are part of the season. Families should check local guidance for trick-or-treating and community events.
