Halloween is one of our favourite nights of the year to wrap ourselves up in toilet rolls, paint our faces and scare ourselves silly. It is also the perfect time to put yourself out there when it comes to asking that special someone on a date or if you are in the early stages of a new romance, matching fancy dress outfits or a chill-fest where you cling onto each other for dear life is just the ticket. Plan well people – that cat onesie simply won’t cut it! Here are some of the best Halloween events in the capital for you to enjoy:
