4. Halloween Dodgeball at the Adelaide Goal

When: 2 November

Where: Thebarton

Strange things can happen around Halloween. Consider this spookily fun event one of them.

It’s not every night you can dress up as a skeleton, zombie or ghoul and play dodgeball at the Adelaide Goal.

It might seem like an unlikely setting, but it’s a guaranteed laugh, and a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone.

Round up some friends, prepare your costumes and spend the night at one of Adelaide’s most historic (and haunted) locations.
