The UK City of Culture 2013 is gearing up for a Hallowe’en Spooktacular to remember as it prepares for a week of fearsome fun for all the family as part of its Banks of the Foyle Hallowe’en Carnival (26 October – 03 November). Derry~Londonderry is offering a jam-packed programme of events that will feature everything from shapeshifters prowling the city to creepy tall ship tours, haunted treasure haunts and ghostly goings-on galore to keep you entertained with ghostly tours, spooky shows and a Hall of Horrors with terrifying tales and wacky workshops across the city. The festival will draw to a spectacular close with a Creepy Carnival and a Fang-tastic Fireworks display along the River Foyle on 31 October.
