Do people in England go trick or treating?

Answer 1

Yes we participate - I'm not sure we celebrate it. The 5th of November is our main celebration when Guy Fawkes was stopped blowing up the Houses of Parliament - which I'm sure nowadays, would be a celebration if he DID!!!!

Answer 2

The Brittish guy sitting behind me says "only if you want to annoy people. Its more like kids thorwing rocks at houses, that sort of thing" Yes, in England Halloween was traditionally celebrated for centuries by ducking for apples or roasting chestnuts. Unfortunately movies such as Halloween and E T popularised the Americanised version, including trick or treating, and this much more commercialised form of Halloween has since become the norm

Answer 3

Halloween is a holiday annually celebrated on October 31. Some people hold Halloween parties on or around this date, where the hosts and guests often dress up as skeletons, ghosts or other scary figures. Common symbols of Halloween include pumpkins, bats and spiders.

Halloween celebrations in the United Kingdom include parties where guests are often expected to arrive in a costume to reflect the day's theme. Other people gather together to watch horror films, either at home or at a cinema.

Some children go trick-or-treating. This means that they dress up and go to other peoples' houses, knocking on the door for treat of sweets or a snack. Those who do not give out a treat may be tricked with a joke instead.

Halloween has its origins in pagan festivals in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Many stores and businesses see Halloween as a chance to promote products with a Halloween theme.
