A massive thank you to everyone who has messaged asking if we will be bringing back Trick of Treat Town this year. Sadly our planning has been focused on a family wedding taking place this October half term, so you won’t see us in 2022, but watch this space for 2023! 🧙

Wishing you all a magical Halloween and thank you again for all of your support. We hope to be back next year with something really special. ✨

Love, Laura and Helen

Happy New Year from RARE Events! We’ve just about recovered from our Halloween extravaganza and are planning for a very exciting 2022.

We want to make sure that the events we create are what families in the North East want, so if you’ve been thinking ‘I really wish there was a…. (fill in the blanks) to go to with the children’ please DM us and we hope to work our magic for you!

Hope to see you all soon,
Laura & Helen ✨

Five weeks to plan a three-night Halloween extravaganza for almost 600 people. When Morpeth Cricket Hockey and Tennis Club asked if we could do it, we couldn’t say no.

We have learnt a thousand lessons along the way, but with the support of amazing people and local businesses, we created an immersive family event right here in the heart of Northumberland.

Whilst we appreciate this is not the Oscars, we have a few massive thank yous to give…

Firstly a huge 'thank you' to each and every one of you who bought a ticket and came along to the event, it couldn’t have happened without you.

Morpeth Cricket Hockey and Tennis Club for giving this opportunity to work with you to create this event and raise funds for your fabulous club where our children all play sports.

Alex Fea who created all of our branding and design. You're a creative Wizard and we will be forever thankful of your support.

Nicky at Thinky Dinky Do for creating the most amazing props - you went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more impressed with your creativity and kindness.

Koast Radio for bringing music and sound engineering to the event - you were all so kind and incredible to ‘go with the flow’ each night! Your patience is most appreciated.

https://www.facebook.com/morpethghostwalks/ for your spooktacular stories and magic. It wouldn’t have been Halloween without you.

Once Upon a Tyne Entertainment for being the most infectiously positive people we’ve met in a long time. The children absolutely loved you and so do we. We can’t wait to cha cha slide with you in the mud again soon!

Aimee Robertson for being the best Glenda Good Witch that ever was. Your improvisation and captivating performance each evening was stunning. You are a wonderful, wonderful human.

Fiery Little T for the most fabulous fire performance to open the show each evening! We are still in total awe of your skills, your energy and how beautiful you are, inside and out.

Janine for being hilarious and playing the Witch in the Woods each evening.

Nature’s Finest Fruits for your donation of a million pumpkins, so so kind!

Ingram AV for going above and beyond to literally save the day at 10pm Wednesday evening! Jack you are at the top of our Christmas card list!

Roaming Tent Co for your stunning, made in Northumberland tents!

Dou_h & Co and our fabulous Graham who provided amazing food at the event.

Louise for saving the day and doing anything we threw at her, our families for being chief pumpkin organisers and lighting technicans, last but certainly not least, the fabulous Gillian aka Super Mam for running the cake stall in the freezing cold all weekend.

Now that's a wrap!

Remember, amazing things happened when wonderful people come together ✨

Thank you to each and every one of you who visited Trick or Treat Town over the last few days. We hope you’ve made some spooktacular family memories.

We’d love to see your photos and videos - please share them in the comments for the chance to win tickets for your family to attend our next event.

It’s never too early to be planning next week’s tea, is it?!

Dou_h & Co and Goodtimes Tacos will be joining us at Trick or Treat Town next week - have a look at their delicious menus before you arrive! ✨

Here’s some answers to our most frequently asked questions…

🕸 Do adults need a ticket? 🕸
Yes, adults and children all need to purchase a ticket for the event. We have already sold out on two evenings and we are limited by the capacity at the venue which we cannot exceed. Please check that everyone has a valid ticket as we’d hate to turn anyone away on the night. If you find you have not bought an adult ticket, please message us in advance so we can get you added to the waiting list.

🕸 Is it fancy dress? 🕸
We strongly encourage fancy dress for all of the family. It’s been a long lockdown without much fun, so feel free to go ALL OUT. We will be!

🕸 Can we buy food and drinks? 🕸
Yes, we have hot food to buy, including wood fired pizzas and tacos. We will also be selling popcorn and toffee apples, as well as other sweet treats. Hot and cold drinks will be available to buy in the Club House (soft and alcoholic drinks!)

🕸 Is the event outdoors? 🕸
Yes, the event is outdoors, but some of the performances will take place in a large circus tent. The Club House will also be open and serving drinks during the event. Please dress for the weather - it is a cricket pitch at night, so sensible footwear is a must! You may even wish to bring a torch for those spooky corners you might want to investigate.

🕸 Where is Morpeth Cricket, Hockey and Tennis Club? 🕸
The name is a little misleading as the venue is actually in Longhirst, just outside of Morpeth. It’s where the old Longhirst Hall was (now residential) - follow the postcode on your sat nav and it will take you in some stunning cast iron gates down a beautiful winding road and the venue is on your first left.

Today, Helen and I braved our first radio interview to talk about Trick or Treat Town with Maggie and Lisa on Koast Radio 🎤

We also talked about how we met, how our business began and our vision for bringing amazing, immersive family events to Northumberland.

It’s actually a little bit overwhelming to think about how much we have achieved in such little time.

Thank you to Morpeth Cricket Hockey and Tennis Club for believing in us and giving us this opportunity to work with you and help raise funds for your amazing Club. This is the beginning of a terrific journey that has already brought us together with some incredible people! ✨

Wow! We are so lucky to be working with the most incredible local prop designer for our Trick or Treat Town.

Here’s a sneak peak of one of the most magical spell books she’s created for us. We are blown away with the level of detail and creativity! What we love even more is that she’s upcycling lots of materials that would have otherwise gone to waste.

We can’t wait to share the rest of her creations with you!✨📚🪄

Let us welcome you to Trick or Treat Town….

As Halloween is approaching this weird and wonderful Town comes to life.

Start your evening in awe of a spectacular fire display before making your way through our magical town to meet its enchanting characters.

Enjoy performances, storytelling and dance the night away.
