Spooktacular GOSH Halloween party

31 Oct 2017, 6 p.m.

Today Great Ormond Street Hospital's (GOSH) restaurant area was transformed into a creepy castle of ghoulish delight as patients, parents, staff and volunteers celebrated Halloween in spooktacular style.

Halloween fun

The patient Halloween Party, held every year in the Lagoon area, thrilled and chilled in equal measure. Patients and families had frighteningly-good fun in fancy dress, with explosive tricks from the Fun Scientists, spooky arts and crafts, temporary tattoos and tricks and treats galore.

GOSH mum Nichola declared the party a great success:

"The Halloween Party was great. Shiloh (pictured at the top of the page) has been coming to GOSH since she was six weeks old, and now she’s seven - the parties really lift her spirits. GOSH go all-out to make life more bearable for us."

Huge thanks to our patients, their families, the volunteers and everyone who came along. Catch up with the antics from today in our gallery of ghouls.
