Congleton is getting into the spooky spirit this half-term.

The town council has confirmed the return of the popular Haunted Halloween Trail and Witchy Wednesday.

Little ghouls and gargoyles can look forward to crafts, face painting, fancy dress and plenty of pumpkins.

Adults do not need a ticket, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Families are asked to book only one session per child and to cancel if they can no longer attend, so others don't miss out.

Councillor Suzy Firkin, Town Mayor of Congleton, said: "Halloween is such a wonderful time for families to come together and enjoy everything our town has to offer.

"The Haunted Halloween Trail and Witchy Wednesday are fantastic examples of local businesses and the community working together to create something special for families during half-term.

"I hope lots of families will get involved, explore the town centre and enjoy some spooky fun."
