The spookiest day of the year is the ideal time to let your hair down, don a mask and have a dance with a man in an ill-fitting warlock costume.

To help you enjoy Halloween to its fullest, we've found some of the most ghoulish club nights in the North of England. Expect good drinks, great beats and heaps of fun in some of the best nightclubs the region has to offer.

Cirque Du Soul, Nottingham

A travelling show of colour, magic and dance is being given a Halloween makeover for one night only with Cirque Du Soul's Halloween Special, which promises to bring together some of the best DJs in the country. As the first ever Halloween-themed Cirque Du Soul in Nottingham, expect plenty of fresh surprises and fiendish tricks.

Tickets for Cirque Du Soul's Halloween Special will take place on Monday 25 October at Nottingham's Rock City. Tickets are available now.

Halloween Monday Corp, Sheffield

There's something for everyone at the Halloween Monday Corp in Sheffield, with three floors featuring house, dance, pop mixes, urban, bass, hip-hop, rock, pop-punk and indie tunes, as well as the tantalising promise of coloured pints. Enjoy free entry by 11pm if you show up in fancy dress.

Halloween Monday Corp will take place on Monday 25 October at Sheffield's Corporation. Tickets are available now.

Nightmare In Liverpool

Forget Elm Street – Liverpool is promising a nightmare of epic proportions in a hip hop party that'll turn 24 Kitchen Street into Satan's Playground. With trick or treat sweets, giant inflatables, free masks and much more, this'll be a night of paranormal festivities to remember.

Nightmare In Liverpool will take place on Tuesday 26 October at 24 Kitchen Street in Liverpool. Tickets are available now.

YoYo Halloween, Middlesbrough

Promising grime, indie, hip hop and pop, the first ever YoYo Halloween party is set to be a scream. Stereo is one of the newest clubs in Middlesbrough, exploding onto the scene over the summer, so expect them to pull out all the stops for their inaugural celebration.

YoYo Halloween will take place on Tuesday 26 October at Stereo in Middlesbrough. Tickets are available now.

Fright Night, Birmingham

This is the biggest Halloween party in Birmingham, and it's a must-visit if you want a wild night. With free shots on entry, Krispy Kremes, Jenga and Connect 4 at every table, and a variety of drinking games all night, there's a good reasons that Fright Night sells out every year.

Fright Night will take place in a secret location in Birmingham on Wednesday 27 October. Tickets are available now.

Blood Red Wednesday, Manchester

Blood Red Wednesday is the first of an entire week's worth of Halloween events at Manchester's The Venue Nightclub, and promises indie tunes with spooky vibes, alongside prizes for best (and worst) costumes. If you want to dance without the frills of a full-blown Halloween party, this is the club night for you.

Blood Red Wednesday will take place on Wednesday 27 October at Manchester's The Venue Nightclub. Tickets are available now.

Raw Halloween Part One, Liverpool

Here's a Halloween party with a cracking USP – instead of a club, Raw Halloween will present a night of house music in Liverpool's Grade II listed Sefton Park Palm House. With extra special DJs, this is a night to truly put on your finest scary clobber for.

Raw Halloween Part One will take place on Thursday 28 October at Palm House Sefton Park in Liverpool. Tickets are available now.
