About the Zombie Walk

Join the undead horde as they rise and roam the eerie streets of Adur in a celebration of all things macabre!

The ADUR Zombie Walk is invading Adur in 2026 with spine-tingling thrills and a haunting atmosphere. What began as a small gathering of horror enthusiasts has transformed into one of the South Coast's most electrifying Halloween events.

Every year, hundreds of blood-curdling zombies—from seasoned horror fans to spirited newcomers—converge on our town, turning ordinary streets into supernatural pathways of community and creativity.

The walk begins at the appropriately eerie Shark Park, where the infection will spread starting at 9th May 2026. As darkness falls, the undead will emerge from their makeup stations, transformed into creatures from your nightmares, ready to shamble through Adur's historic streets.

No prior zombie experience is necessary—just a love for the macabre and a willingness to embrace your inner monster. Whether you're a seasoned horror aficionado with professional makeup skills or a first-time participant, our community welcomes zombies of all experience levels.

What to Expect

  • Expert makeup artists to transform you into a gorgeously gory creature
  • A thrilling zombie costume contest with prizes for the most bone-chilling, innovative, and group ensembles
  • A family-friendly "Little Monsters" zone so even young zombies can join the frightful fun
  • An after-party at The Crypt, serving up zombie-themed cocktails and eerie beats (18+ event)
  • Charity fundraisers supporting local community projects—because even the undead care
  • Multiple themed zones throughout Adur with unique scares and photo opportunities
  • Zombie flash mobs performing choreographed dance numbers to classic horror themes

Our Unholy Mission

The Adur Zombie Walk isn't just about scares and makeup—it's a community celebration where we raise vital funds for local causes while creating unforgettable, spine-chilling experiences. Last year, our collective efforts raised over £3,000 for Adur Community Projects!

Following in the tradition of Adur's community festivals, we aim to bring together residents of all ages, creating shared experiences and showcasing the creative talents of our district. The Zombie Walk represents the macabre side of Adur's vibrant cultural landscape, providing a platform for makeup artists, performers, and horror enthusiasts to demonstrate their skills.
