Fright night fun - Halloween around the world
London
Ghost Ship
Celebrate Halloween the scariest way possible. Get onboard the Cutty Sark, the historic tea clipper moored in a dry dock in Greenwich, and go on a candlelit ghost tour to hear some scary tales. The classic 1931 horror movie Dracula is also being screened under the ship for this special Halloween event during which shots of whiskey will be served to warm off the chills.

Halloween Parade
The world’s largest Halloween parade, New York’s Village Halloween Parade, takes place in Greenwich Village and is often cited as the city’s greatest night of the year. Lou Reed even wrote a song about it. There are some 50 bands due to play live at the 2016 event at which thousands of New Yorkers will once again turn out in outlandish DIY costumes. Indeed, only those dressed up in costume are welcome to participate.
