The Festival of the Dead is a unique combination of carnival, circus and clubbing inspired by the art of the Day of the Dead Celebration. Sounds perfect – especially with Halloween just around the corner.
After a sell-out tour across the UK last year, the festival returns this year on Saturday 12th October from 22:00 and finishing in the early hours of the morning.
The indoor event will also feature carnival-esque pageantry, festival floats, confetti, an array of characters, giant skull processions, acrobats and circus performers, live music, dancers, DJs, petrifying piñatas, co2, an epic light show with encouraged audience participation, professional skull face painting and beautiful art and costumes.
Festival of the Dead merges bewilderment, black magic, carnival, circus, theatre and unadulterated partying. The theme this year is Limbo and festival-goers are encouraged to “follow us into the afterlife as we navigate purgatory”.
After a string of five-star reviews and attracting more than 50,000 guests from across the UK – this is an event not to be missed.
With Early Bird tickets already sold out, would-be festival-goers should act quickly to secure their place at the event.

Please note: This event is for those aged 18+ only and has no affiliation with the public holiday of Dia dos Muertos which has religious meaning and traditions.
