SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN EVENTS IN NORFOLK

I adore this time of the year as there are so many great things to look forward to such as cosy evenings, pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin picking and of course all things Halloween. Now that my daughter is three I think that it's time that she got involved with all things Halloween. My parents would never allow me to get involved with anything that was remotely to do with Halloween, it was just something that they never agreed with. However, both my husband and I are a little different and don't mind the idea of some Halloween fun. So today I thought I would share a few spooktacular events that are happening in Norfolk




Families are being invited to attend a Halloween Spooktacular in Kings Lynn on 31st October. The even starts at 3pm where children and adult can make their way around the town centre on a special Halloween trail. This annual event will also have street entertainers and even some of the shops will be handing out some sweets to the children, so make sure they they dress up to scare them.
