🎟️ Book your tickets now — spaces are limited. Don’t miss this chance to join the Isle of Wight’s most magical October event.
What to Expect 👀
As dusk falls, Blackgang Chine becomes a luminous world of sound, light and celebration. At the gate, the Gate Keeper guides your crossing over a rainbow bridge into a realm where roaming performers ignite the party with bursts of colour and energy.
From there, follow the trail into Cowboy Town — live DJs energise the air between shows. Kids can dive into glitter tattoos, face painting, and the glow shop, while adults munch on spiced chilli or nachos and soak up the immersive, family-friendly vibe.
Expect an evening bursting with entertainment:
🔥 Fire Shows – Two explosive fire performances every night on the Cowboy Town stage.
🤸🏽♂️ Aerial Acrobatics – Watch our aerial performer defy gravity on Rumpus Lawn.
🔮 Immersive Characters – Meet the Gate Keeper, Miss-Fortune Teller and roaming glow performers.
💭 Sacred Fire Garden – Connect with your loved ones as messages are transported to the other side.
✨ Family Fun – Glitter tattoos, face painting, glow toys, marshmallow toasting and more.
🌶️ Fiesta Flavours – Chilli, nachos, chilli dogs, Mexican-inspired street food, hot toddies and cold beers.
Why This Event Stands Out 🪇
Looking for something unique to do on the Isle of Wight this half-term?
Fiesta of the Dead is unlike any Halloween event in the UK. Rather than relying on scares, it celebrates light, music, culture and togetherness. Inspired by the Mexican Día de los Muertos, Blackgang is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour, with inflatable displays, immersive décor, and world-class performance art.
Whether families enjoy interactive fun or couples and friend groups dance under the stars, it’s more than an event; it’s a memory in the making.
And with flexible ticket options — from full-day park entry to evening-only passes — it’s easy to build the experience that suits you best. Add in free returns on day tickets, free entry for Season Pass Holders, and delicious Mexican-inspired food, and you’ve got the recipe for the island’s ultimate October celebration.
Dont miss out!
