More Treats than Tricks in Bury St Edmunds this Autumn

A visit to what’s been described as one of the most haunted towns in England is a must this Autumn. Halloween brings out the best in Bury St Edmunds, with activities to keep the whole family entertained. Kids can dive into crafts, pumpkin carving, and more, while parents can enjoy the festive autumn vibe with decorations and themed treats around the town centre.

Get Halloween-ready by stopping at Mr. Simms Sweet Shop on the Buttermarket to stock up on treats for Trick-or-Treaters. Whether you’re looking for chocolate pumpkins or boxes of candy to fill those Halloween buckets, you’ll find it all here.

Did you know the UK grows between 10 to 15 million pumpkins each year, with close to £30 million spent on them for Halloween? It’s no wonder pumpkin spice has become a seasonal favourite! Bury St Edmunds has several cosy spots to enjoy this autumn flavour. Stop by The Lounge and Garden on Hatter Street for a pumpkin spice coffee shake or latte—served hot or iced. You’ll also find the seasonal classic at Bay Tree Café on St. John’s Street, where spooky decorations add to the fun, or try it at Midgar Coffee just a few doors down, where it comes with whipped cream, nutmeg, and why not add a pumpkin spice sticky bun to that!

Ready for Halloween cocktails? Head to Verve on Woolhall Street and enjoy a pumpkin spice martini. Or head to The Hunter Club on St. Andrews Street South, where you can sip a Pumpkin Spice White Russian or Fall Punch. Whether you’re after hauntingly good deals on drinks, festive cocktails, Drag, 90’s throwback or Hip Hop, they have got you covered.

If all this Halloween excitement has worked up your appetite, Crumbs, located in The Traverse, has a selection of spooky treats, including bronuts, shakes and cookies. Queens’s Bar and Grill offers various Halloween specials, including Halloween, Devils Chicken, and Monster Mac burgers, and you don’t want to miss their spooky cocktails!

Procopio’s Pantry in Langton Place is the perfect place to treat yourself to a Halloween afternoon tea. For £26.99pp, you can enjoy a meatball sub, nduja bean pie, a devilled egg, delicious cheese, a chilli scone, and, of course, some sweet bites.
