Where will you be?

I think that the answers will go in the "how long is a piece of string" category

Do you mean go round strangers doors in the place you are on holiday?

I think that's exactly what she means.

No way would I allow my children to do this.

Interested in this thread?

At a caravan park or similar holiday place or where you're on holiday in a residential area?
If I'd gone on holiday to a caravan park or similar, it wouldn't occur to me to take any treats with me or to expect trick & treaters; if I'm at home, i wouldn't care if you were a neighbour, visiting one of the neighbours, come from the nearby town or on holiday from several miles away. I have 100 treats to give out and they go to the first 100 children to visit regardless of where they are from.

Do you mean at a U.K. holiday park? Or just in the area you are on holiday in?

If the former I'd assume some form of Halloween event would be laid on for Monday. So would just do that.

If latter - no but I'd follow the same 'rules' as I'd have at home.
Only younger children, not teens.
Fancy dress costumes.
Early evening.
Only going to decorated houses or those where it's obvious they are taking part.

if this is what you mean then no. It feels like cheeky fuckery to me

If it's a family friendly place that's made a big deal of Halloween in its promo material then it might be encouraged but I wouldn't traipse down the halls of a Premier Inn and chance my luck.

Isn't the rule that you only knock on decorated doors? In which case why would that be different just because you're on holiday? Even in my little village nobody knows all the kids so if any that knock on my neighbours are local or are visiting from 300 miles away it's the same thing.

rookiemere · 28/10/2022 17:26

I'm quite relaxed about trick or treating in our own neighbourhood, but I wouldn't be so keen to advertise I had young DCs if staying on a caravan site full of strangers. Dunno, it just doesn't sit right.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 28/10/2022 18:22

I hardly ever know any of the kids who come T or T-ing here, so if houses are decorated, I don’t see why not.

toomuchlaundry · 28/10/2022 18:24

Aren’t you meant to stay local and only decorated houses

icelollycraving · 28/10/2022 18:28

People come from the towns locally to our village as so many decorate. Now so many come, less people participate.
I wouldn’t know if you were local, knock if house is decorated. It really depends where you are in holiday tbh. I work in a seaside town and don’t see decorations except in businesses.

Doughnuts68 · 28/10/2022 21:43

Thanks everyone. I mean like a holiday park.

Same rules. Decorated ToT, no decorations then don't.
