Hundreds of people are expected to enjoy some seasonal thrills and chills as a town centre is transformed for Hallowe'en.

Spooky Saturday will return to Lowestoft town centre and the town's historic High Street on October 28, as pumpkin trail and entertainment aplenty attracts the crowds.

A "jam packed" day of events and activities in the town centre, The Triangle Market and High Street areas, has been organised by Lowestoft Vision - the Business Improvement District (BID) for the town.

And this year, Lowestoft Town Council will be holding a ‘fangtastic’ Halloween Market in the historic Triangle Market from 10am.
