This is the 4th year that Pleasureland has been transformed into "The Happy Halloween Capital of the UK."  Throughout the ½ term holidays, the park will be decorated with hundreds of pumpkins, bats and spiders to ramp up the spooky fun.

Managing Director of Southport Pleasureland, Norman Wallis, said:- "After my stay in Hospital I'm extremely grateful to be here; and well enough to put on this Halloween event. It's is all down to the amazing care I received from doctors and Nurses. We want to launch our Halloween celebrations this year with a gesture of thanks to all the heroes in our Armed Forces and Emergency Services, who work incredible hard to help to keep us safe and well in these troubled times."

Those interested in attending the Armed Forces and Emergency Services Happy Halloween weekend must sign up online.  Tickets will be allocated at 1 per person to the 1st 1000 registrations, so organisers are urging people to register quickly to avoid missing out on the Halloween Spectacular.
