Thanks to Halloween falling on a Saturday, many events continue today, November 1! Here are the extended festivities for the kids that just won’t quit — or parents who want to squeeze every penny out of those costume purchases! As always, click the link in the event title for further details and ticketing info.
Nov 1: Migrant Children’s Fund Wickedly Wonderful Halloween Weekend
For three massive days, Beijing Riviera Club is teaming up with the amazing team at Migrant Children’s Foundation (MCF) for an epic Halloween weekend. You’ll be able to enjoy a scary movie night for kids, a Halloween market with kids activities, a haunted house experience, and a Halloween gala dinner, followed by a market, and a treasure hunt in a haunted house. Hulu will be providing mulled wine for the adults, teams of artists and decorators from Dulwich College and The Great Human Connection will set the tone, and ARKA Architects have created a truly special haunted house. All are welcome, so don’t hesitate to come and raise money for this great cause.
5pm-late. Beijing Riviera. Price according to activity, check event link for booking details
Nov 1: EAST’s Trick or Treat Halloween Full Buffet Brunch
Feast’s Halloween brunch is definitely all about the treats, with a wide range of savory and sweet dishes on the buffet — many with a Halloween twist, of course. There will be prizes for the best costumes, and any kids who dine at feast can take part in a Halloween cookie class downstairs at Xi’an for free (usually RMB 98 for 1 kid + 1 adult).
11.30am-3pm. Feast by EAST. RMB 398, free for kids 3 years and under, half-price for kids aged 4-12 years
Nov 1: Hulu’s Halloween Menu
Not strictly a brunch, but we couldn’t resist adding Hulu’s wonderfully creative Halloween menu. From deviled eggs topped with creepy critters to gravlax rolls shaped like fingers to bat wings (don’t worry, they’re actually chicken wings colored with squid ink), brave diners can expect to encounter plenty of spooky treats and creatures like skeletons, vampires, and ghosts. While we’re sure this menu will be a hit with kids, adults aren’t left out either with Halloween-themed cocktails like the I Put a Spell On You, a negroni served in a smoking skull. The menu is available at Hulu Sanlitun, Indigo, and the branch next to WAB through today, Nov 1.
Nov 1: “Stupefy” Themed Brunch at Market Cafe
Head to Market Cafe at Hyatt Regency Beijing Wangjing for a Halloween party inspired by Harry Potter. Enjoy a buffet of spooky treats (plus Harry Potter-themed cocktails and free-flow wine for the adults), plus the first 30 kids to RSVP (010 8634 1234) will get complimentary Harry Potter costumes.
5.30-9.30pm (Oct 31), 11.30am-2.30pm (Nov 1). Market Cafe. RMB 426, free for kids under 5 years, RMB 188 for kids 6-12 years
