Spooky delights install for
Southport!
IT'S going to be a blast this half term
in Southport... With the Happy Halloween Event throughout the October half term,
in Southport Pleasureland and with a Halloween Parade on Lord Street, plus many
other businesses joining in, you are in for one heck of a good time in
Southport. As Pleasureland owner, Norman Wallis has told us, it's going to be a
"spooktacular Halloween." The main attraction will be Southport
Pleasureland, and activities start on Saturday, 24 October 2015, when the 2nd
Spookfest turns the seaside resort into Spookport, the UK's biggest Halloween
Town... Setting off from the tourist attraction that night will be a massive
Halloween Parade. The Parade will travel down the full length of Lord Street and
with lots of small events taking place throughout the town. Some events will be
"not too scary" and ok for young children, where as others will be... Then over
the next few nights things will keep building, with a fantastic fireworks
display on Monday, 26 October 2015. On every night the park is open Pleasureland
will have its normal fun mix of rides and amusements, set around a park's family
friendly area, which has now been decorated with Halloween props. Plus, over
those nights it will also be inhabited by some unusual characters... Norman has
told us:- "Please do join us and take a look at our pumpkin displays. If
you visit us, the park will be free to enter, except on Halloween Night, as that
will be ticket only! We have lots of surprises in store for you as you wander
around enjoying the sights and sounds, soak up the atmosphere. You can also see
our one of our many free shows that will be taking place or enjoy a cup of
witch's brew in one of our coffee bars!" On 31 October will be The
Scream Fest, at Pleasureland, 2 arenas', 32 acres of devilishly good fun, from
2pm to 2am! Sadly, that event is ticket only one and to get tickets for it, go
to:-

information. Other events, not as big will also be taking place, like at the Fox
and Goose, who are running 'Dusk till Dawn Special'. Plus on the
outskirts of Southport, in Formby
Shorrockshill will also host an event...
and the West Lancs. Light Railway are also hosting the Halloween Specials, see
WLLR.Net for more information about it.
Then to finish on a blast on Friday, 6 November 2015, Southport Pleasureland
will be lighting up the skies yet again, with another fantastic fireworks
display! Plus on Saturday, 7 November 2015, on Victoria Park, the annual charity
bonfire and fireworks event takes place, run by Southport Round Table. We are
told that the Round Table event will be quite a blast and is free for under-5s,
£3 for under-11s and £7 for anyone 12+. The bonfire will be lit at 6.30pm and
the firework display will begin at 8pm. If you are staging a Halloween event,
