M&S has launched its kids’ Halloween clothing collection, with prices starting at £6 for a bat sweatshirt. The range spans babies to teens and mixes costumes with everyday pieces like jumpers and sleepsuits that can be worn beyond 31 October.
Marks & Spencer has launched its kids’ Halloween clothing collection, with prices starting at £6 for a children’s bat sweatshirt. The range covers babies through to teenagers and mixes traditional dressing-up outfits with everyday pieces such as jumpers, sleepsuits and pyjamas, according to a product report by parenting site MadeForMums.
The most affordable item highlighted in the new range is the M&S Cotton Rich Halloween Bat Sweatshirt, priced at £6 and available in ages two to eight. A Cotton Rich Halloween Cape Dress for the same age group is priced at £9, while babies marking their first Halloween can wear a ‘My First Halloween’ sleepsuit at £10, sized from 7lbs up to nine months.
For babies and toddlers, the collection includes a Halloween Pumpkin Bodysuit with Hat (1–24 months, £10) and a Halloween Ghost Bodysuit with Tights (0–24 months, £12). Older children’s options include a Ghost Knitted Jumper priced between £14 and £16 for ages 0–5, a Cotton Rich Halloween Jumper at £14, and a matching Patterned Top & Bottom Outfit for ages 2–8 at £16.
The widest-ranging item is the Pure Cotton Glow in the Dark Skeleton Pyjamas, priced at £16 and sized from one to 16 years, meaning the set spans toddlers through to teenagers. M&S describes the collection as “cute, considered and chic”, combining monochrome prints and checkerboard designs with pumpkins, ghosts and other Halloween details.
Everyday Halloween Wear at Budget Prices
The collection’s main draw for parents is its emphasis on pieces that can be worn beyond Halloween night itself. MadeForMums notes that several items — including the bat sweatshirt and ghost knitwear — are subtle enough for everyday autumn wear, which addresses a common parental frustration about buying outfits that get only brief use on 31 October.
The pricing also positions the range competitively for families budgeting for the school and nursery Halloween period. With items starting at £6, the collection offers a low-cost route to Halloween-themed school days and parties without committing to full fancy dress. According to MadeForMums, this is particularly useful for children who have a themed day at nursery or school but do not want to wear a complete costume.
The baby range adds milestone-occasion appeal, with the ‘My First Halloween’ sleepsuit and pumpkin bodysuit aimed at families marking a baby’s first October with photographs and seasonal events.
How the Range Is Put Together
: “The collection sits within M&S’s established childrenswear offering, which regularly includes seasonal ranges for events such as Halloween and Christmas. This year’s Halloween range follows the pattern of previous M&S seasonal launches by combining dressing-up items — such as the cape dress and ghost bodysuit with tights — alongside separates like jumpers and sweatshirts.
MadeForMums highlights that the range splits roughly into two categories: pieces designed as ready-made costumes, including the bodysuits and cape dress, and everyday items such as the skeleton pyjamas and Halloween jumper, which can be worn throughout October and beyond. The glow-in-the-dark skeleton pyjamas are positioned as a fuss-free alternative to assembling a DIY costume.

Stock, Availability and Sizing Limits
The report does not confirm full availability details, including whether all items are sold online only or also in M&S stores. It is not yet clear how long stock will last — popular children’s seasonal lines at high-street retailers frequently sell out in popular sizes in the run-up to 31 October.
Pricing is confirmed only for the items listed, and the full extent of the collection — including any additional items, accessories or further price points — has not been detailed. MadeForMums’ descriptions of wearability, such as the claim that pieces can be worn after Halloween, are the publication’s editorial assessment rather than an M&S guarantee.
Ahead of the October Rush
The collection is available now, giving families several weeks to shop before Halloween on 31 October. Shoppers interested in specific items, particularly baby sizes and the lower-priced pieces, may want to buy earlier rather than later given that seasonal children’s ranges often face size sell-outs.
MadeForMums also points families toward related seasonal planning, including family Halloween events and Halloween advent calendars, suggesting the wider Halloween retail period is now getting under way.
