Children are guaranteed to be entertained this half term by a free Halloween event organised by Downham Market town council.

The Halloween fun day offers families a free funfair ride, table top games along with some more traditional games such as skittles and tin can alley.

Children have the chance to have their face painted and take part in a Halloween fancy dress competition.

The winner of the competition will get the opportunity to press the button, which lights up the Downham Market Christmas Lights on Sunday, November 24.

Elaine Oliver, town clerk, said: "The event is slightly aimed at younger children but everyone is welcome.

"It's been running for years, it's quite historic actually."

The fun day will take place at the town's market square on Friday, October 25 from 11am to 3pm.
