Halloween in Norwich!

By -

I really love Halloween!! The story in England goes that on the 31st of October, Halloween night, ghosts, fairies and witches are particularly active! No one is really sure of the exact origin of this festival, but what we do know is that Halloween falls on the eve of the Catholic feast of All Saints (1st of November) and on the eve of the pagan Celtic festival called Samhain! How spooky?!


Students at UEA dress up in scary costumes, face masks and just generally scary clothes. Some students go out trick-a- treating (going to collect sweets from neighbours), whilst others dress up and go for Halloween parties. This year the International Student Society is having one of the biggest Halloween parties in Norwich city centre. I am really excited and am trying to decide on a scary but equally attractive outfit! I was thinking about dressing up like a ‘dead doll’ perhaps? I have seen another guy do it last year and thought it was a really cool and also really scary outfit. The picture below is where I am getting my inspiration from this guy:


Halloween outfits are the talk on campus these days with all my friends trying to find a decent outfit. Our hunt for Halloween costumes carries on, we are all going to go to Norwich city centre and explore all the charity shops that sell second hand clothes and find something appropriate. I will try and post pictures up from the Halloween party so keep logging on!


Enjoy Halloween and don’t forget to look scary!
Love,
UEA Indian Ambassador.

    Personally I think there is more to the story of halloween...there are deeper elements to it and actually it is a bit of a shame that people participate in the hola baloo without fully comprehending the repercations...
