How the date of Halloween is worked out
It is a fixed date, so only the day of the week changes. Halloween, also called All Hallows’ Eve, is the evening before All Saints’ Day on 1 November. It is not a bank holiday, and it often falls in or near the autumn half-term, which varies between schools and local authorities, so the same date can be a school day in one area and a holiday in another.
Good to know
- It is not a bank holiday.
- The clocks go back on the last Sunday in October, which is sometimes the weekend before Halloween, so it can get dark noticeably earlier on the night.
- Bonfire Night follows five days later, on 5 November.
Halloween is on 31 October every year.
