Colne Town Council's Events Officer Nathan Cutler said: "Our Halloween event used to be one of our smallest events that we held but each year the event keeps getting bigger and bigger and we cannot wait for people to see what we have in store for them this year.

“We have a lot of free activities as we want to gather the whole community together to enjoy a family day out without having to worry about the normal costs associated with a day out.”

He added that to allow the event to take place a road closure will be put in place on Market Street (from the Junction of Windy Bank) down to the traffic lights on Market Street.

The closure will be in place from 5am until approximately 9pm to allow for the event infrastructure to be installed and removed safely.
