Witches, zombies and vampires covered Wisbech at the weekend as the town got into the Halloween spirit.
Hundreds of people of all ages attended the Horsefair Shopping Centre’s annual Halloween Trick or Treat event, many of them in fancy dress.
More than 60 town centre businesses in the Horsefair, on High Street, Hill Street, Market Street and Union Street took part.
The event had something for all the family including balloon modelling, fairground rides, an arts and crafts fair and more.
New this year was the House of Shadows and Madam Woo’s fortune telling in the Market Place, alongside spooky dance performances from the Nine Lives Theatre Group.
The Rose & Crown Hotel also hosted the Samhain Witches’ Festival with magical, mystical witchy wares to browse and craft stalls to visit.
The Mayor of Wisbech Councillor Steve Tierney had the difficult task of judging the fancy dress competition.
