There will be a fancy dress competition for the best outfit of the day.

Ghosts, ghouls, witches and wizards will be in Hinckley town centre on the 29th of October as Spooktacular Saturday returns.

In the Britannia centre, there will be a range of free activities, including pumpkin bowling and a themed stilt walker.

Little ones can also take part in creepy crafts, spooky stone painting, and face painting.

Executive Member for Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Town Centre, Councillor Keith Nichols said: "This family-friendly event always proves to be a hit with families and little ones.

"From pumpkin bowling to face painting, there is something for everyone - and it is always fun to see the Britannia Centre filled with so many creepy costumes and spooky faces. Come along and bring your family – if you dare."

There will also be a fancy dress competition for the best outfit of the day and everyone who wears fancy dress will receive a Halloween medal (subject to availability).
