Halloween at Awesome Walls 2025

The nights are drawing in, the pumpkins are out, and things are about to get spooky at Awesome Walls. This Halloween, all four of our centres — Liverpool, Sheffield, Stockport and Stoke — are hosting a night of climbing, costumes and creepy fun. Whether you’re bringing the kids for games and treats or joining us later for our famous Lights Out Climbing, it’s going to be a night to remember.

Kids Halloween Climbing Parties

Each centre kicks off the evening with a dedicated Kids Party. For £17.50 per child, our instructors will lead a session packed with Halloween‑themed games, climbing challenges and plenty of treats. Just like our NICAS and kids clubs, children will be supervised the whole time, so parents can relax knowing they’re in safe hands.

And of course, Halloween wouldn’t be complete without costumes. From creepy to creative, hilarious to horrifying, we want to see it all. There will be Awesome Prizes up for grabs for the best dressed at every centre.

  • Liverpool – Kids Party starts at 18:00
  • Sheffield – Kids Party starts at 18:00
  • Stockport – Kids Party starts at 18:00
  • Stoke – Kids Party starts at 17:30

Booking is essential for the Kids Parties, so make sure you secure your spot early.

Lights Out Halloween Climbing

Once the kids have had their fun, it’s time for the main event. At each centre, the lights go out and the UV glow begins. Expect eerie vibes, glow‑in‑the‑dark decorations and a climbing experience like no other.

  • Liverpool – Lights Out at 19:00
  • Sheffield – Lights Out at 20:30
  • Stockport – Lights Out at 19:30
  • Stoke – Lights Out at 21:00 (note the later start)

General entry prices apply, and no booking is needed unless you’re joining the Kids Party. Entry also includes free Halloween sweets, snacks and activities to keep the energy high.

One important reminder: bring a head torch. Climbing in the dark is all part of the fun, but you’ll need a little light to guide your way. We’ll have a limited number available to hire if you forget.

Why You Don’t Want to Miss It?

Halloween at Awesome Walls is more than just climbing. It’s about community, creativity and making memories. From the laughter of the kids’ games to the thrill of climbing under UV lights, it’s a night that brings everyone together.

So grab your costume, round up your friends and family, and join us for a Halloween party like no other. Whether you’re in Liverpool, Sheffield, Stockport or Stoke, we can’t wait to see your spooky side.

Book Your Child’s Place

Our Kids Parties are always popular, and spaces fill up quickly. To make sure your little ghoul or ghost doesn’t miss out, we recommend booking as soon as possible.

The party is just £17.50 per child and includes climbing, games, treats and full supervision from our instructors. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes are waiting for the best dressed.
Don’t wait too long — once the spaces are gone, they’re gone.

Eight weeks ago I was idly checking my social media when a friends post in our running group caught my eye.
‘I’m injured, does anyone want my Race Across Scotland place?’ As expected no one snatched up his offer as running 225 miles over Scotlands Southern Upland Way in under 100 hours appealed!
Funnily enough though a few people mentioned my name…
Whilst big epic running challenges are my thing, I felt with only six weeks notice and a lack of big training days, I wasn’t quite ready for such suffer fest.
I also had the slight complication that I had a 100 mile race two weeks before that one!

To cut a long story short I accepted the place, I only ran 40 miles of the 100 and arrived at Portpatrick on Friday the evening before the big race.

On Saturday 6am 163 of us set off heading East to push our bodies and minds to their limits.
As the miles clicked away we ate plenty and slept little but pushed on regardless.
Day 1, day 2, day 3 were a blur and eventually day 4 arrived.
Everyone was totally spent but with the finish line close (40+ miles) we needed to crack on and complete this epic journey.
Unfortunately many people had had to drop out along the course but 63 competitors pushed on.
After running for 85 hours and sleeping for less than 5 hours I eventually hit a pain barrier that tried to thwart my progress.
Blisters on four toes, the base of one foot and around both ankles brought me to a hobble/wobble!
I had a final nine miles to the finish and NOTHING was going to stop me. While I walked, hobbled, tripped and jogged, a few hardier runners passed me but we all had the same goal in mind.

I’m pleased to say that I crossed the finish line after 227 miles and 89 hours and raised an awesome £2100+ for Mind Charity (the JustGiving page is still open for donations https://bit.ly/DavesRAS24)

I had a good friend Dave Jones help me along the way with nutrition (pot noodles), kit (sweaty clothes) and encouragement (move it…). Without his tremendous support the outcome would not have been the same.

I’ve received so much positive support via emails, social media and personally that I can’t thank my supporters enough.

My years of climbing have taught me many things, but one of the most important things is ‘Stay Positive’.

Hope to see you at the climbing wall soon,
