Great Yarmouth’s favorite spooky tradition is reaching its thrilling climax, as the Halloween Spooktacular 2026 enters its final days at the historic Hippodrome, running through to Sunday, November 2nd. With a fantastic run of packed houses and full audiences so far, this year's production has proven to be an absolute hit.

The Halloween Spooktacular 202 Full Cast
Stefan shared: "Bringing this character to life has been an absolute riot and audiences have been loving it. It's so much fun being here in Great Yarmouth, especially over Halloween." Joining the stellar cast is CBBC actor James McKenzie, taking on the role of Dracula, lord of the underworld. James noted: "There is nothing more fun than playing a panto-style baddie, especially when the audience are so into it like they are here at the Hippodrome. So far it's been brilliant, and I cannot wait for actual Halloween itself."
Complementing the theatrical fun is a stellar lineup of world-class circus performers. The production features world record-holding mouth-hanging aerialists and an international diabolo superstar who spent over 16 years on tour with Cirque du Soleil. Together with other incredible artists, these performers have crafted specially themed routines designed exclusively for the Halloween Spooktacular. With shows scheduled every single day leading up to the grand finale, excitement is peaking for Halloween night on October 31st. Producer Jack Jay highlighted the magic of the holiday performances: "All of our Halloween Spectacular shows are such fun, but on the 31st it really is magical. So many of the audience members come along in fancy dress, and when we finally reach our Halloween party at the end, it's something akin to a New Year's Eve celebration. It really has to be experienced."
