Fright Night is Britain’s biggest Halloween Carnival, attracting up to 40,000 people each year!

Always staged on the Sunday before Halloween (Sunday 27^th October 2013 - 3.30pm until 8.30pm), we close the roads in Sheffield City Centre around Fargate, Tudor Square, Barkers Pool, Peace Gardens, Surrey Street, Leopold Street, Orchard Square, Millennium Square & Winter Gardens for this ‘mass promenade’ festival. It is Sheffield's largest community event.

Attractions for 2012 included a fancy dress catwalk, urban dance, shopping trolley zombie grannies, a monster in the fountain, a spooky ghost ship, Star Wars Stormtroopers, Uncle Fester on his moving piano, a voodoo New Orleans jazz band, funfair rides/stalls, samba band, a zombie garden, food stalls, children’s activities & craft stalls.  For updates and more information follow Yellow Bus Events on Facebook & Twitter.

Once again in 2012 we worked with Professor Vanessa Toulmin from the University of Sheffield who curated an installation of Zombies and a New Orleans voodoo jazz performance.

This year we teamed up with award winning magician Steve Faulkner and the Sheffield City Hall to bring you an evening of world top magicians, mind readers and lots of fun at ‘Steve Faulkner’s Fright Night Magic Show’.  For more information and to buy tickets please follow the link - http://www.arenaticketshop.co.uk/whats-on/steve-faulkners-fright-night-magic-show/
