Fright Night is Britain’s biggest Halloween party, attracting up to 40,000 people into Sheffield City Centre each year!

Always staged on the Sunday before Halloween, we close the roads around Fargate, Barkers Pool, Peace Gardens, Surrey Street, Leopold Street, Orchard Square, Millennium Square & Winter Gardens for this ‘mass promenade’ event. Attractions for 2009 included street theatre, ghost tours, Star Wars Stormtroopers, haunted house, ghost train, Dalek & Cyberman, Hagrid lookalike, a fancy dress catwalk, funfair rides/stalls, stilt walkers, a samba band, food stalls, children’s activities & craft stalls.

Once again we are worked with Professor Vanessa Toulmin from the University of Sheffield who curated an installation of Zombies in the window of M&S, street entertainment and the most amazing selection of victorian sideshow illusions!

In addition to the main event (3.30pm until 8.30pm) we staged a "Fright Night's Little Brother" event on The Moor with loads of halloween fun for younger children including a Harry Potter lookalike, Dalek, street entertainers, giveaways, childrens rides and much more....

The event is made possible with the support and help of Sheffield City Council, Travel South Yorkshire who are our Main Sponsor, Real Radio, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Newspapers, Stagecoach Supertram and many other partners.

Travel South Yorkshire are encouraging event goers to leave their cars at home and get to the event by bus, tram and train. For further information please visit www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/fright.
