For the 2024 spooky season, Curious Legends brought frighteningly fun festivities to Wallsend! We partnered with WOW Wallsend, Wallsend Village, and Newy With Kids to bring you Wallsend Frights: Dance of the Dead – another awesome family event funded by City of Newcastle’s Special Business Rates program.

Check out the video below for an overview of the event!

Halloween Costume Making:

Ghosts, witches, pumpkins and zombies alike, we summoned all to a clash with the arts and crafts. In our sold out workshops, participants joined our crew to create costume accessories to accentuate their Halloween character. We worked with headbands, wristbands, masks and various materials to create accessories to construct the perfect costume!

Dance of the Dead:

Then, on Halloween evening, Wallsend Frights returned to the Wallsend Village carpark with our free community event – Dance of the Dead. A home to ghosts and ghouls alike, 2024’s Dance of the Dead featured both old and new highlights, including our shadow puppet workshops, crafting, giant puppets, a scavenger hunt, dancing flash mobs, a Haunted House space, Weeping Forest and the Boneyard.

See below for some photos of the frightening festivities!
