The Tower of London hosts Halloween at the Tower of London in London from 24 October to 1 November 2026, bringing theatrical ghost stories and seasonal activities to the historic fortress. The programme runs daily from 10.30am to 4pm and is included in palace admission.

Halloween at the Tower of London runs through half term

Historic Royal Palaces has scheduled the programme for every day from 24 October to 1 November 2026. The event is aimed at families and combines stories about the fortress with costumed performers, make-up and atmospheric sound effects in some areas.

The operator names three settings for the experience: the Haunted Forge, the Enchanted Wishing Well and the Raven’s Observatory. At the Haunted Forge, ghost gatherings are planned for 11.15am, 12.45pm and 2.45pm each day. The programme draws on the building’s long history as a royal palace, fortress and prison, rather than presenting a separate exhibition. Details of the Halloween programme and daily times are published by Historic Royal Palaces.

The fortress setting gives the Halloween programme its history

The event takes place within a complex that Historic Royal Palaces describes as London’s castle, a secure fortress, royal palace and prison. The White Tower stands at its centre, while the Crown Jewels exhibition and Yeoman Warder tours are among the regular attractions included in a standard visit.

That setting connects the seasonal programme with named parts of the site: the Haunted Forge uses one of the fortress’s working spaces, while the Raven’s Observatory reflects the ravens traditionally associated with the Tower. Historic Royal Palaces also says that the site is a World Heritage Site. The operator’s visitor information for the Tower identifies the landmark as a royal palace, fortress and prison.

Visitors should note one specific restriction. Historic Royal Palaces asks guests not to wear costumes, and says people arriving at the Tower in costume will be refused entry. Young children taking part should remain with their accompanying adults.
