Halloween River Cruise Aboard the Vintage Hauntsman

Something Spooky is Stirring on the Norfolk Broads... This Halloween, the Norfolk Broads are taking a darker turn as Broads Tours’ Spooky Boogie sets sail from Wroxham aboard the suitably transformed Vintage Hauntsman. Join us for two and a half hours of frightfully good fun, Halloween classics, dancing after dark and a fully licensed bar serving some devilishly tempting drinks. Fancy dress is positively encouraged, so dust off the cobwebs, summon your best costume and prepare for a Halloween night out with a difference.

The Experience

As darkness falls over Wroxham, step aboard Vintage Hauntsman and prepare for a Halloween evening on the water.

For two and a half hours, the River Bure becomes the backdrop to a night of spooky favourites, dancing, and Halloween fun as you cruise through the Norfolk Broads after dark.

Expect a soundtrack packed with Halloween classics, from Monster Mash to Thriller, alongside plenty of party favourites to keep the atmosphere going throughout the evening.

Fancy dress is strongly encouraged, whether you arrive as something frightening, funny, or just
impressively overcommitted.

Please note that this event is for guests aged 16 and over.
