Organisers of the popular Nantwich Halloween Spooktacular have announced the 2025 event will not go ahead.

They described it as a "difficult decision" but said the break will allow them to revamp and refresh the event ahead of its return on Saturday 31 October, 2026.

Since its launch in 2009, the Spooktacular has become a much-loved fixture on the local calendar, attracting thousands of families to the Dorfold Showground each autumn.

The event features a fairground, Halloween fancy dress, competitions, games and entertainment, all rounded off with a spectacular firework display by Blitz Fireworks.

In a post on social media, Nantwich Spooktacular organisers said: "We have taken the difficult decision to suspend The Nantwich Spooktacular for 2025. 

"We will be back next year with a new event revamped and refreshed, we would like to thank our hosts, all our sponsors, our hard working dedicated staff for all their hard work and you the general public who have supported the event since 2009.

"You can still see large scale pyromusical displays provided by Blitz Fireworks locally throughout the upcoming season. 

"We will be at The Queens Park in Crewe on November 5 for their annual Bonfire & Firework Display hosted by The Crewe lions Club where all profits go back in to the local community.

Since its launch in 2009, Nantwich Spooktacular has become a much-loved fixture on the local calendar, attracting thousands of families to the Dorfold Showground each autumn (Jonathan White).

"We will post a list of events and venues Blitz fireworks are performing at over the upcoming season on its Facebook page in the coming weeks.

"Once again thank you for all your support over the years it really does mean the world to the whole team and we look forward to welcoming you back to a brand new event on Saturday 31 October 2026."
