From Friday October 25 to Sunday November 3 a city-wide spooktacular event will bring together terribly good events, devilish displays and wicked offers.

Make the most of Halloween with a collection of terrifying events across Sunderland, with everything from scream worthy bingo to creepy crafts – you’re sure to have a frighteningly good time.

Sunderland’s first Halloween parade will also take place on Friday November 1, bringing together community groups from Gentoo and Sunderland City Council alongside Carnival experts The Creative Seed.

And don’t forget to look up during the week as giant inflatable tentacles adorn some of the city’s key buildings. Brought to you by Designs in Air, the art installations are sure to be a hit this Halloween.
