Acton Fire Station Invites Families to Free Halloween Event
Meet local firefighters during an evening of spooky fun
There will be a chance to climb aboard fire engines, try out a fire hose under supervision
October 26, 2026
Acton Fire Station is opening its doors for a special Halloween celebration on Thursday 29 October, offering local families the chance to meet firefighters, explore the station and enjoy an evening of spooky fun.
Running from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, the free event will give children the opportunity to climb aboard fire engines, try out a fire hose under supervision, and collect Halloween treats. Firefighters will be on hand to talk about their work, answer questions and help visitors learn more about fire safety.
The event will take place at: Acton Fire Station 27 Gunnersbury Lane Acton W3 8EA
Entry is free, and donations to The Fire Fighters Charity are welcome.
The Halloween event forms part of the London Fire Brigade’s wider programme of Fire Station Open Days, designed to help residents get to know their local crews and learn more about the vital work they do. Open days offer a behind‑the‑scenes look at firefighting equipment and vehicles, hands‑on activities for children, and the chance to try on parts of a firefighter’s uniform. Fire Cadets will also be present for anyone interested in joining.
The station team says the event is a great opportunity for families to enjoy a fun evening out while helping firefighters strengthen their connection with the community they serve.
