Halloween in Blackpool!

The Monster Hunt will be one of the big attractions in the resort’s extensive Halloween By The Sea celebrations. It follows the award-winning Lightpool Festival between October 18-26. Back with an amazing free-to-see programme of light installations, 3D projection shows, art trails, and stunning live performances. Autumn is great in Blackpool!

Between October 28 and November 3 2024

The hilarious monsters will form a spectacular, family-friendly trail between the Golden Mile and nearby town centre throughout the day. They’ll be illuminated during the evening so they glow in the dark. Your job is to hunt them down!

Renowned inflatable design company, Designs In Air are making the monsters. They’ve worked for major clients including Glastonbury, Cirque du Soleil and New York Aquarium. One of their design artists is Filthy Luker. They said: “Our motive is to make the world a softer, more surreal and colourful place. It’s a kind of vendetta against the mundane, concrete world we live in.

“With the element of surprise as a shock tactic, our giant pop-up artworks spice up the norm and disrupt skylines. Everyone who passes by sees them and instantly enjoys them! It might not be high art, but it is definitely high UP art!”
