HALLOWEEN is here, so make it a day of high-value family fun.
Instead of paying for pricey theme parks or expensive light trails, there’s plenty of free fun right outside your front door.
Get ready for goosebumps and great memories with these hair-raising Halloween adventures.
DEVIL’S IN THE DETAIL: Instead of knocking on doors tonight with dozens of other families, enjoy the Halloween handiwork in your local area.
While it’s quiet, go on a walk around your streets and find the best-decorated houses.
Decide which is the spookiest, the funniest and look out for the best pumpkin carving.
SCARY STROLL: Discover the spooky secrets hiding on your doorstep this Halloween by creating your own ghost walk.
Start by researching local legends, haunted buildings and mysterious happenings, then plot four or five scary stops along a walkable route.
Get into the spirit of things by dressing in dark cloaks and carrying flickering LED lanterns.
WITCH WAY: Younger spooks will go batty for a Halloween scavenger hunt.
Make a list of things to spot, from gigantic spiders to gruesome gravestones.
Give everyone a checklist and see who can find them all first.
TRAIL FINDERS: Look for free Halloween trails near you.
Some will give you a treat for finding the spooky signs in local shops and businesses.
For example, in Chester there are ten clues hidden in local businesses, and you could win a £50 gift card.
In Gloucester, you have to collect clues from friendly ghosts and then solve a letter puzzle.
Head to Huddersfield to spot 12 carved pumpkins displayed in town shops and claim a prize.
COMMUNITY CREEPS: Take a trip to your local museum or library to discover the area’s strange superstitions.
Check for free exhibitions, storytelling sessions or family activities.
You might discover that your town has some rather unusual skeletons in its historical cupboard.
