W5 Late Fright Night

At W5, fun has no age limit but for one night only this November, there are no kids allowed, and grown-ups are given the run of the place! Enjoy a night of eerie fun at W5 Late Fright Night.

Creepy Campfire Tales

Telling spooky stories around the fireside is an ancient tradition, especially at this time of year. This Halloween season, we invite you to gather around the campfire with us, and let the Ghostly Storyteller weave a web of spine-tingling tales. Wait a minute! - this is the description for our family event - This is W5 Late - these aren’t creepy tales - these are tales of terror! Take a seat by the campfire - ignore the strange sounds coming from the forest around you - there’s nothing to fear here - honestly!

Mask Making

Meet mask maker extraordinaire Chris Stephens and learn how he sculpts, moulds and paints incredible masks from the movies. Chris will have a display of his stunning work on show - which needs to be seen to be believed.

Character Meet and Greets

Beware we have some very creepy costumed characters wandering round for chance encounters.

Costume Competition

We know it’s the night after Halloween but it’s time to dress up again and see if you can win a fantastic prize in our Costume Competition. ‘The Judge’ will be wandering around throughout the night - nominating what he believes to be the best costumes for a final parade at 10pm when the audience shall choose the winner.

Speed Quiz

Get your team together and test your general knowledge in what is aways a hugely popular event - the W5 Late Speed Quiz.

Bats

Northern Ireland is home to eight of the nine species of bats found in Ireland. All of our bats are small, shy, harmless mammals. Join our guests from the NI Bats Preservation Society who will introduce you to some of these amazing little creatures and address some of the frequently asked questions like “do bat’s drink blood?” and “do they get tangled in your hair?”.

Science Shows

Visit the science bar and see ‘Fear’ and ‘Deep Frieze (The Directors Cut’) two extremely entertaining and informative science shows.

All of this plus Live DJ, Bars, Face Painting, and Board Games in our Coffee Shop add up to a what’s going to be great night out.
