Halloween corporate events have become the business world's latest obsession this year! It seems what was once a kiddie thing is now a firm favourite for UK and Ireland businesses. Why? Well, the annual fright fest is the perfect excuse for a spooky soirée (without the stress of the festive season, if you’ve been thinking about trading tinsel for tombstones).
Plus, there’s something spine-tingling about Halloween corporate events where costumes and creepy décor aren’t just welcome, they’re non-negotiable. So, let’s explore why Halloween is creeping its way into the corporate calendar!
3 Rabid Reasons Why Halloween Corporate Events Are on the Rise
Halloween has got its claws in deeper than trick-or-treating. Now, it’s now a popular corporate choice because it gives you the opportunity to:
· Avoid festive fatigue - Everybody’s exhausted by Christmas. On the other hand, Halloween corporate events in October let you enjoy the fun without the end-of-year rush.
· Get creative - Devilish decorations, lurid lighting, and corpse-like costumes give you carte blanche to set the mood for a boo-licious Halloween bash.
· Incorporate diversity and inclusion - Not everyone sparkles at Christmas. But Halloween gives everybody the chance to eat, drink, and be scary.
These are the major whys behind the rise of Halloween corporate events. But it’s the organising side where you can really carve out a spot of fear-inspiring fun.
Trending Themes for 2024
Halloween is nothing without a great theme. And there’s truly something for everyone, from cursed customs to pestilent pop culture. For example:
Pumpkins and potions – Lower key ‘DIY’-style Halloween parties are wildly popular this year. So, if hiring out a haunted castle is too much, how about bringing the fun, fantasy, and fright with ghost story sessions? Hire a storyteller to share bone-chilling tales while guests sip witchy cocktails. And give ‘em pumpkin to talk about, with a carving competition to bring creepy creativity and heinous humour to your event.
· Beetlejuice bonanza - The Beetlejuice remake is everywhere! And it’s a thrilling theme if you want to go bold with costumes and décor. Use Beetlejuice's iconic black and white stripes to inspire your party’s look, and encourage attendees to dress as their favourite characters.
· Blood-curdling classics – Not matter what trends come and go, you can never go wrong with classic, crowd-pleasing themes with a treacherous twist. Think Alice in Wonderland... but warped. And don’t forget about vampires. They remain a spell-binding staple thanks to hit TV shows and films.
Halloween corporate events are officially here to stay. And it’s the perfect chance to shake things up and break away from the usual routine. Better still, there’s something for every business to enjoy, whether you’re looking for eerie entertainment or dangerously delicious food. So why not add a supernatural spin to your next event?
