Halloween 2026

Halloween 2026

Halloween is fast approaching us, so we thought we would share some hints and tips to make sure it's an enjoyable time for everyone.

Many elderly residents, vulnerable people, and those living alone may feel anxious or unsettled by unexpected knocks on their door after dark.

✅ If you're taking children trick-or-treating:

• Only visit homes that are clearly decorated for Halloween or have a pumpkin displayed.
• Respect "No Trick or Treat" signs and any requests not to be disturbed.
• Stay with children where possible and supervise younger children.
• Be polite and respectful to all residents.
• Never knock repeatedly, peer through windows, or cause nuisance if nobody answers.
• Keep noise to a minimum, particularly later in the evening.

✅ If you're handing out treats:

• Consider displaying a pumpkin or Halloween decoration to show you're happy to receive visitors.

Remember, what is fun for some can be frightening or disruptive for others. Let's work together to ensure everyone enjoys a safe, respectful and community-friendly Halloween. 🎃
