Cartoon of a carved Hallowe'en Pumpkin

Hallowe’en can be a time of great fun and excitement, particularly for children. But for others, it can be an unsettling or even frightening evening, with uncertainty about who might come knocking at the door.

To help everyone enjoy Hallowe’en (or avoid it!) in their own way, we’ve produced two simple A4 posters that residents can print and display in their windows.

Yes, trick or treaters welcome!

Let people know you’re happy to join in.

No trick or treaters please!

Politely let visitors know that you’re not taking part.

Of course, there are other signs that a household is joining in the fun, such as Hallowe’en decorations or pumpkins in the garden. But please remember that the absence of a “NO” poster doesn’t mean that trick-or-treaters are welcome. Not everyone is a member of our community group, and some residents may not even know the posters exist.

Equally, displaying a “NO” poster is no guarantee that everyone will respect it. However, we ask all our members who are out trick-or-treating to respect these signs and avoid knocking on doors where residents have indicated that they don’t wish to participate.

If in doubt, please move on to another house.

Whether you’re joining in the spooky fun or enjoying a quiet evening at home, we hope everyone has a happy and peaceful Hallowe’en!

🦆 Tarrah for now, mi ducks!

Rob and Steve – Co-Chairs
