There are a range of Haloween and Guy Fawkes celebrations happening across the Isle of Wight in the run up to Haloween and Guy Fawkes Night, and some unusual ways to see them!
With Halloween Guy Fawkes’ night so close together many places celebrate the two occasions with combined events.
Halloween Walks
Experience spine tingling ghost walks at a variety of locations around the Island, or there is the Sandown Halloween Carnival and Fireworks with a spooky lantern-lit parade of costumed participants weaving their way through the streets finishing at The Parade for a spectacular firework show.
Traditional Fireworks
For the more traditional there are two big November 5th events with a family-friendly firework displays at many locations across the Island, often including torch light processions and bonfires. Close to the Farringford, at Yarmouth in the West Wight, is a very popular torch light parade through the town and the bonfire and fireworks on the Common, overlooking the Solent.
Something completely different . . .
There have been some very different Guy Fawkes experiences over the years including a November 5th kayaking session where participants paddled out to watch the Yarmouth fireworks display from the Solent - definitely a unique vantage point.
