Halloween is one of my favourite times of year to paint. It's the one night everyone wants to be
transformed, from tiny pumpkins to full-face skulls.
I'm Kat, a professional face painter based in Horsham. I paint Halloween parties and events across
Sussex and Surrey every October. I'll match the designs to your guests: cute and friendly for little
ones, properly spooky for older kids and adults. Everyone gets the look they want without anyone
ending up in tears.
Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday, so the last weekend of October books up quickly. If you have a
date in mind, get in touch early.

Halloween Face Painting FAQs 🎃
Can you do Halloween designs that aren't too scary for young children?
Yes. Most of my Halloween bookings include a mix of ages, so I always have friendly options like pumpkins, cute monsters, black cats and sparkly bats alongside the spookier designs. Children choose their own look, so nobody ends up with something they don't want.
Do you face paint adults for Halloween parties?
Absolutely. Adult Halloween parties are some of my favourite bookings. Think full-face skulls, werewolves, devils and dramatic creature looks. See my adult face painting page for more.
How many children can you paint in a party booking?
The Classic Party package (2 hours) suits up to 15 children, and the Ultimate Sparkle package (3 hours) suits up to 25. For school discos and larger events, get in touch for a quote.
How far in advance should I book for Halloween?
As early as you can. Halloween 2026 is on a Saturday, so Halloween weekend (Saturday 31 October) is the busiest of the season, and October half-term dates fill up quickly too.
Which areas do you cover?
I'm based in Horsham and regularly cover Crawley, Guildford, Reigate, Haywards Heath, Dorking, Worthing, Burgess Hill, Brighton, East Grinstead and the villages in between. See all areas I cover.
