Additional information:

Fright Night is Britain's biggest Halloween party. Over 38,000 people, many in fancy dress, flock into Sheffield City Centre every year for an evening of ghoulish activity, with street theatre and funfair rides providing family entertainment.

 

Ghost tours and a fancy-dress catwalk are among the many other attractions keeping Fright Night participants occupied. Much of Sheffield City Centre is closed to traffic for the evening, so instead of cars watch out for werewolves, vampires and zombies.

 

IMPORTANT: Anyone joining the walk should be of a level of fitness relative

to the walk being undertaken, be appropriately dressed, have

suitable footwear, and have with them enough food and drink

for the duration of the walk.

I'll be there

This should end up a good day out, hope the weather stays fine.

Quite a crowd got their names down for this already, maybe its something to do with the chance to dress up. Should be a great day.

A wonderful day today, and a great turnout. A lovely walk along the canal, lunch at the pub, taking in the sights and sounds of Fright Night, followed by a meal in the city centre.

 

Thanks everyone for their fab comapny.
