Families flocked to the main shopping centre in King's Lynn today for a free Halloween event.

Spooky fun in the Vancouver Quarter started at 3pm and included trick or treating, face painting and a fancy dress competition.

Conservation charity The Fairyland Trust also ran a magic wand making workshop.

Abbie Panks, the Vancouver Quarter's marketing manager, said: 'We look forward to this event every year; it's always lovely to see so many children and their families dressed up for the occasion.

'Most of the stores in the town centre got involved this year, acting as trick or treat stations which alongside the other activities created a wonderful atmosphere.'
