Brixton is spoilt for choice this Friday. If Halloween is the UK’s craziest party night, Brixton will be one of the craziest places to party. For once, it won’t be the usual late-night jump scares on the street.
sThe unmissable event is Electric Brixton, with massive production and a wall-to-wall spectacle that’s sold out six years running. If you’re after Latin thrills, head to their Reggaeton Halloween Takeover: don’t skimp on the costume—there’s an £800 prize—and expect CO₂ jets, flames, and confetti. Prefer the open air? Pop Brixton turns into a Twisted Playground; try not to get caught in a container that’s gone creep-mode.
Our favourite—and possibly the best Halloween event—is The Courtesan an immersive cabaret and burlesque, a three-hour show with a Green Fairy Prosecco welcome, decadent dim sum, cocktails, and masked elegance. Unfortunately, it’s sold out—so if you’re left in the cold, send us an email and the first person to respond gets a special BCC pass × 2. If you miss out, we’ll reserve our second favourite event for you. Use “TheBCCList” as promo code for a discount at this secret halloween party .
