Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October, so the big London club nights are Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October. Tables at the Mayfair and Soho clubs we book start from £1,000 minimum spend on a normal night; on Halloween expect higher minimums, a deposit to secure the table, and the best positions to go first.

As of 7 October 2026, most of the clubs below have not yet announced their Halloween 2026 themes or line-ups; they are usually confirmed in mid-October. You do not need the line-up to start: send us your date, group size and budget through our London club table bookings page and we will come back with options as each venue releases its Halloween tables.
How Halloween Changes Table Prices
On an ordinary weekend, tables at Tape London, Cirque le Soir, Maddox Club, Reign, Dear Darling, The Box and Scotch of St James start from £1,000 minimum spend (as of October 2026). These venues price special events above their ordinary nights, and Saturday is typically the most expensive night of the week. Halloween 2026 is both a special event and a Saturday, so treat £1,000 as the floor, not the quote.
What moves the price on the night:
- Table position. Tables by the DJ booth, the dancefloor or the main stage at a show venue carry the highest minimums; side and mezzanine tables sit lower. Our guide to London club table positions explains the layout logic.
- Group size. Larger groups need larger tables, and the minimum rises with them. See how many people you can have on a club table.
- Timing of the booking. Halloween tables do not get cheaper as the night approaches. The lower-priced tables are usually the first to go, so a late enquiry tends to leave only the premium positions.
- Friday or Saturday. Friday 30 October is the other big night of the Halloween weekend. If your group is flexible, ask us to quote both nights.
The minimum spend is what you commit to spend on drinks at the table, not an entry fee on top. Most clubs also add a discretionary service charge to the bill. For how minimums work on a normal night, see our London club VIP table prices guide.
For reference only: our 2025 version of this page listed Halloween tables at Tape, Cirque le Soir and Reign from £1,000 minimum spend. That was last year's starting point, not a 2026 price; Halloween 2026 quotes come from each venue once it releases its tables.
Deposits and Cancellations on Halloween
Many clubs do not take a deposit on their regular trading nights, but Halloween and New Year's Eve are the exception: expect to pay one to lock the table in. London clubs usually ask for between 20% and 50% of the minimum spend, and the deposit normally comes off the final bill on the night rather than sitting on top of it. Our guide on paying a deposit for a London club table covers the detail.
Peak-night deposits come with stricter terms. On Halloween they are larger and far more likely to be non-refundable than on an ordinary weekend, because the venue can resell the table several times over. Read how London club table cancellations work before you pay, and get the deposit, the table and the arrival time confirmed in writing.
When to Book a Halloween 2026 Table
Halloween sits with New Year's Eve and bank holiday weekends among the nights that need the earliest reservations (see how far in advance to book a London club table). A sensible timeline for 2026:
- Now to mid-October: send your date, group size and budget. This is when the full range of table positions is still available.
- Mid-October: themes and line-ups are usually announced and Halloween table prices firm up. Pay the deposit once you are happy with the quote.
- Final week: availability narrows quickly. Late tables do appear, mostly premium positions or cancellations, and they are worth asking about, but do not plan a group night around one.
Clubs We Book Halloween Tables At
These are the London clubs we arrange tables at that open on Saturdays. Hours are each venue's usual hours as of October 2026; event nights can run differently, so check the time on your confirmation.

A quick steer on the table angle at each:
- Tape London and Cirque le Soir are the two most searched for Halloween. At both, the guestlist is for ladies and girl groups only, so mixed groups and groups of guys need a table to get in, and on Halloween that table is in heavy demand.
- Reign, Cirque le Soir and The Box are show venues: the performance is part of what you pay for, and tables with a clear view of the stage carry a premium.
- Maddox Club and Dear Darling keep their guestlists for ladies, so mixed groups and guys book a table here too.
- Little Tape is the late room inside Tape at 17 Hanover Square, open from 3am to 5:30am on Fridays and Saturdays, and booked separately from a Tape table.
Last year's venue notes, kept for history (they describe Halloween 2025, not 2026): Tape, Cirque le Soir, Reign, Maddox and Dear Darling.
If you would rather a ticketed warehouse party than a table, Time Out's round-up of Halloween parties in London lists the big ticketed events for the weekend of 30 and 31 October 2026.
What to Expect on the Night
- Arrive inside your arrival window. On a peak night a table is usually held for somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour past your booked time before the venue can release it.
- Bring photo ID for everyone. Door teams still check ID against faces on Halloween, so any mask or face paint needs to come off at the door. All of these clubs are strictly 18+.
- Ask about costumes. Some clubs run a costume-led night, others keep their usual smart dress code for anyone not in costume. We will tell you which applies once the venue confirms its Halloween format.
- Plan the journey home. The Night Tube runs on Friday and Saturday nights on selected lines, and Green Park and Oxford Circus are the closest stations to most of the Mayfair clubs above.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Halloween 2026?
Halloween 2026 is on Saturday 31 October. That makes Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October the two big club nights, and Saturday the busiest and most expensive of the weekend at most London clubs.
How much is a VIP table in London on Halloween?
Tables at the Mayfair and Soho clubs we book start from £1,000 minimum spend on a normal night, and Halloween is priced as a special event, so expect a higher minimum. The exact quote depends on the venue, the table position and your group size; venues usually confirm Halloween pricing in mid-October.
Do you need a deposit for a Halloween table?
Yes, almost always. Halloween deposits typically run from 20% to 50% of the minimum spend, are usually deducted from the final bill on the night, and are more likely to be non-refundable than on an ordinary weekend.
Do you need a table to get into Tape or Cirque le Soir on Halloween?
For mixed groups and groups of guys, yes. The guestlist at both clubs is for ladies and girl groups only, so everyone else needs a table booking, and on Halloween those tables sell out early.
How early should you book a club table for Halloween?
As early as you can. Booking before mid-October gives you the widest choice of table positions; in the final week only premium tables or cancellations tend to be left. You can book a London club table with us now and confirm once the venue releases its Halloween pricing.
