about 2 hours ago
As the evenings draw in and autumn settles over the coast, Bognor Regis certainly does not slow down. From Halloween activities and community events to festive shopping and the annual Christmas lights switch-on, there is plenty happening around the town over the coming weeks.
Whether you are looking for something to enjoy with the children, an opportunity to support a local cause or simply an excuse to get out and enjoy the community, here are some of the events worth adding to your diary.
Spooktacular Halloween Fun at Butlin’s
Halloween takes over Butlin’s Bognor Regis throughout October as the resort's Spooktober celebrations return.
Families staying at the resort can expect plenty of seasonal entertainment, including the evening Scareground, an Eerily Silent Disco, pumpkin carving and the Skyline Gang Monster Mash Up. Fireworks are also planned during the half-term period, making it a particularly exciting time for younger visitors.

There will also be refreshments during the interval and a raffle at the end of the evening.

One of the things we love about Bognor Regis is the variety of events and activities taking place throughout the year. From the seafront and Hotham Park to community centres, local businesses and the town centre itself, there is always something happening.
At Whitlocks Estate Agents, we spend every day talking to people about not just property, but what it is actually like to live in the area. If you are thinking about moving within Bognor Regis or relocating to the coast, our local team would be delighted to help you discover the neighbourhoods that could be right for you.
Event details can change, so we recommend checking with organisers before travelling.
