00:05chills and family fun. Whether you're after a gentle scare or a full-on fright night,

00:10there's plenty going on right across the region. Let me walk you through some of the

00:15stand-up things to do and see for 2025.

00:18Farmageddon is an award-winning interactive horror experience in Ormskirk. The whole park's

00:23themed with roaming creatures of the night. The farm contains interactive scare attractions

00:43Zombie Arms where evil spirits are served in a glass. All visitors must be 16 years and

00:47over to attend and that runs until Saturday 1st November. Ghosts, Pirates, Witches and

00:53Everything in Between are set to take over Liverpool 1 as part of a spooktacular Halloween party.

00:58The event which takes place on Sunday 26th October from 11am to 5pm offers a full day of family-friendly

01:05entertainment from spooky characters and performances to the hugely popular children's Halloween fancy

01:10dress competition. New to this year, a kids' silent disco will bring eerie tunes to the retail destination.

01:16Roaming characters will materialise throughout Paradise Street including the return of the

01:58haunted past as expert guides lead you through secret cemeteries, medieval gardens and hidden morgues.

02:04From the grandeur of our cathedrals to the depths of St James's Necropolis and St James's Cemetery

02:11Gardens. Tours do run year-round but a particularly popular throughout October.

02:17Every autumn the nights grow longer, the air turns colder and the line between worlds begins to blare.

02:21Halloween's always been more than costumes and sweets. It's a time to honour our ancestors,

02:26to gather in ceremony to transform fear into celebration. This year,

02:30Cotumba's Halloween Carnival reclaims those deeper roots. This year's theme, Ancestral Spirits'

02:35Ritual Fire weaves together the diasporic origins of Carnival with the ancient pagan traditions of

02:41Samhain. Starting at 7pm on Friday, 31st October, the procession begins on Bald Street and culminates

02:47at Liverpool 1. Whether you're pumpkin picking, uncovering ghostly tales or dancing in a parade,
