Halloween Hooley 'first' for Larne Town Park

Taking place from 6pm until 8.30pm, the Mid and East Antrim Council-organised event promises plenty of spine-tingling fun including fire juggling shows, live music, spooky storytelling and a UV disco to get all your little pumpkins moving and grooving! Or if you are really brave, you could have a close encounter with a variety of creepy crawlies or create some fearsome arts and crafts.

There will also be a range of “haunted hot food, creepy confectionery and hot drinks to purchase on site”.

The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Noel Williams, said: “We are delighted to announce this fang-tastic event in Larne this Halloween. With spine-tingling performances and spooky attractions - there's something for everyone to enjoy as darkness falls.
