Brewery Square in Dorchester is set to host an unforgettable Halloween filled with free activities and culminating in a daring attempt to break the world record for the largest ghost gathering in the world.

On Thursday, 31 October, the Square will come alive as hundreds of costumed ghosts aim to surpass the current record of 560 ghosts in one location. This ghostly gathering promises to be a spine-tingling spectacle as an army of the undead descends upon Brewery Square. Participants are encouraged to wear a white sheet or be creative with their ghoulishly good ghost costume.

To start the week of Halloween celebrations there will be a timetable of activities, as follows:

28th – 31st Ghost Trail, keep your eyes peeled for QR codes hiding in the shadows.

28th - Spooky Crafts, 9am to 5pm : Craft your own ghastly accessories and decorations to haunt your home.

30th – Circus Skills Workshop, 1:30pm – 3:30pm prepare to be thrilled by terrifyingly fin tricks, try them out for yourself. Fancy dress strongly encouraged.

31st October - Brewery Square will host a full day of activities, including Spooky Crafts, 9am – 5pm and face painting from 2pm – 5pm.

This will lead into the highly anticipated world record attempt at 5.30pm, where families can come together in their fang-tastic ghost costumes to be part of a world record breaking attempt. The evening event will host live music, dancing and competitions, goodies and guest appearances.
