Become a Friend of World Zombie Day: London

Help us fight brain rot on Saturday 10 October 2026.

We’re inviting businesses of all kinds (pubs, cafés, shops, cinemas, tattoo studios, record shops, and more) to join World Zombie Day: London as official Friends of the event.

There is no fee or required donation to take part. You can simply help us raise awareness by displaying our supporter badge, sharing campaign materials, or telling your customers about the event.

If you would also like to raise funds for The Dead Good Club, you can choose an approach that suits your space: create a Zeffy fundraising page, display a QR code, run a small activity, donate a percentage of a themed product, or make an agreed in-kind contribution.

In return, approved supporters receive an official badge, ready-to-use campaign assets for their window, tables, and social channels, and a listing in our public supporter directory.

We’re flexible about how you get involved and creativity is encouraged! No financial contribution is needed.

You can take part from wherever you are without being on the official walk route.

How it works

  1. Choose how you would like to support.

    Select awareness-only, fundraising, in-kind support, or a combination.

  2. Register your interest.

    Tell us a little about your business and, where relevant, any fundraising or activity plans.

  3. We confirm your participation.

    We’ll make sure proposed activities are safe, accessible, and clearly separate from the official walk route. Awareness-only supporters can usually be confirmed quickly.

  4. Receive your supporter pack.

    You’ll receive the official badge and ready-to-use campaign materials. Fundraisers will also receive guidance for setting up a Zeffy page or using the campaign QR code.

  5. Share your support.

    Let your community know you are helping World Zombie Day: London fight brain rot.

Choose your level of involvement

  1. Awareness support: no financial contribution required

    Display your supporter badge, share supplied campaign posts, put up a poster, or mention World Zombie Day to your customers.

  2. Optional fundraising

    Set up a Zeffy fundraising team page or use our campaign QR code, run a small approved activity, or donate proceeds from a themed product.

  3. Optional in-kind support

    Offer a raffle prize, product, printing, space, staff time, or another agreed contribution.

  4. Optional financial support

    Make a fixed donation or give an agreed percentage of sales.

You can also join us on the walk

  • Send zombies on the walk to represent your brand.
  • As we move from stop to stop throughout the day, on-site promotion should either be mobile or limited to one stop.
  • We ask that you run any concepts by us so we can make sure they’re aligned with the event and the cause.
  • No flyering: It’s important to us that nobody hands out flyers or anything else likely to become litter.

Things sponsors have done before

  • A decontamination photo booth
  • “Breaking news: zombie outbreak reported in central London”
  • Phone apps reviewed by real zombies

What you get

We provide pre-designed assets so you can start sharing straight away. You’ll need access to a printer, but are free to print in any format such as posters, flyers, window stickers, badges, or other decorations.

  • Official World Zombie Day Supporter badge.
  • A2 and A4 posters / flyers.
  • Window sticker artwork.
  • Social posts, cutouts, and captions.
  • Short brand and usage rules.

Use the approved World Zombie Day: London logo, Zombie Red, typography and fundraising wording as supplied. The supporter badge does not grant unrestricted use of the primary World Zombie Day logo.

Special events, pub quizzes, and workshops

Anything substantial needs separate written approval. This includes workshops, pub quizzes, parties, brunches and other organised activities using the World Zombie Day name.

We will not approve activities that ask walkers to visit your premises before the official event, leave the walk midway, or travel to a location away from the route.

We particularly welcome:

  • Warm-up activities in the days leading up to World Zombie Day: London.
  • Sunday post-event brunches or other activities on the day after the walk.
  • Day-of activities for people who cannot attend the walk or after-party, provided they are clearly described that way.

As part of the approval process, we may ask about:

  • Safeguarding and family suitability.
  • Licensing and insurance.
  • Capacity and accessibility.
  • Safety arrangements.
  • Cash handling and donations.
  • The wording and placement of your publicity.

Approval must be received before you publish the activity or invite the public
