Rattle skeletons and light lanterns – it's Halloween
Yorkshire Evening Post
|October 27, 2025
The big story of the next seven days
-
Pumpkins, bats, skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, tricks or treats — all are included in the celebration of Halloween, October 31.
It is a worldwide celebration. In the UK, Halloween becomes bigger each year with houses decorated and children and young people going door to door, holding out sweet baskets and saying: “Trick or treat.”
The callers are often in fancy dress and neighbours usually have sweets and choclates to hand out.
Other Halloween traditions include apple-bopping and pumpkin carving.
This story is from the October 27, 2025 edition of Yorkshire Evening Post.
