Families can pick pumpkins for free and create lasting memories at the Pumpkin Patch, while thrill-seekers can visit Coleraine’s haunted highwayman, Cushy Glenn, or face Judge Bloody Hutchinson in the Little Shop of Horrors.

Visitors will also have the chance to capture epic photos with a smoke-breathing Hungarian Horntail Dragon, fresh from the Triwizard Tournament.

On Wednesday, 30th October, Coleraine BID will host its annual Fancy Dress Competition and BIG stage show around the Town Hall from 12:30pm, presented by Brian Moore.
