Transforming a private barn in the heart of The Cotswolds

Oasis Events had the pleasure of transforming a private barn in the heart of the Cotswolds into a spooky Halloween wonderland for a client hosting friends and family. With a bit of magic and a lot of creativity, we took the space from rustic to chilling with black-out fabric, lighting effects, and incorporating an array of eerie props provided by the client.

A Spooky Walk Through the Woods

What made the evening truly spine-tingling was the deep, dark woodland beside the barn. By nightfall, this serene setting became a key feature of the party, offering guests the thrill of a haunted woodland walk. Armed with just the light of torches, the intrepid adventurers wound their way through shadowy trees, encountering spooky surprises at every turn. Along the trail, guests were treated to stops designed to give them a playful fright, and the team of Frightners did a terrific job under a two hour deluge of rain!

Mouth-Watering Treats and Warming Comfort

No party is complete without great food, and this one was no exception. A superb local food van, well-known on the festival circuit, served up hot, delicious burgers on demand, warming up guests after their woodland escapades. The combination of cold night air and piping-hot comfort food was a hit, ensuring no one left the party hungry!

Entertainment for All Ages

To keep the younger guests entertained, we collaborated with an expert team who not only helped to style the venue but also organised fun activities for the kids. They added games to the barn and trail, ensuring that both the venue and the entertainment were perfectly in theme for the occasion, with themed games like "Witches’ Hat Ring Toss" "Find your Fangs" and "Ghost Bowling."

The Perfect Finish 

Of course, the adults weren’t forgotten! A grown-up bar was stocked with seasonal cocktails and warming drinks, while a specially designed kids’ bar served up spooky mocktails and soft drinks, ensuring everyone had something to enjoy.

Lighting, Sound, and Atmosphere

The success of this event wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise of our lighting, sound, and power suppliers. They helped create the perfect atmosphere, from spooky shadows in the woods to the eerie glow within the barn, working with the darkness to create an epic transfromation.

The result? A spooktacular evening that left the guests talking long after Halloween was over. At Oasis Events, we love creating unforgettable moments like these, where no detail is overlooked and the vision comes to life in the most magical way.

Whether it’s a Halloween bash, a Christmas party, or a summer celebration, Oasis Events is ready to turn your ideas into reality. We can't wait for the next one!
