 Everyone is being urged to really get into the ‘spirit’ of things on the most spine chilling day of the year by coming in scary costumes.

 For one day only on Wednesday 31st October there will be a fabulous fancy dress parade following the 2.00pm Sealion display and the winners will be decided by a special clap-o-meter system! The adult and the child that gets the biggest clap will win a family ticket to the zoo.

 Jude Rothwell, PR and Marketing Co-ordinator at Blackpool Zoo, said: “Halloween is set to be a real scream here at Blackpool Zoo!

 “The pumpkin carving is always a firm favourite as the children can fill their creations with treats that are then fed to the animals.

 “There really is something for everyone during the half term holiday and we are all looking forward to seeing everyone in fancy dress – including the keepers and staff!”
