Summer is now well and truly over as I write this blog. I can hear the wind howling round my office and the rain battering the window so it feels just about the right time to be writing a blog for Halloween.

Bolton is no exception when it comes to getting all spooky and there are some fantastic activities going on for Halloween both within the town and slightly further afield.

As always Halloween is headed up by our very own wonderful Bolton Museum where you can take part in Spooky Crafts, Caspers Ghost Tours, and Ghost and History Tours.
