DORCHESTER'S Brewery Square is poised for a spook-tacular week of Halloween events, headlined by an audacious attempt to break the world record for the largest ghost gathering!

This celebration, aptly titled "Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun," promises to be a hauntingly good time for families, friends and Halloween enthusiasts alike.

The highlight of the week is set for Thursday, 31 October, when hundreds of costumed ghosts will converge in Brewery Square, aiming to break the current world record of 560 ghosts in one location.

This record-breaking ghost gathering will fill the Square with an army of the undead, followed by a live band, dancing, entertainment and competitions.

The entire week leading up to the big day will be packed with a variety of eerie activities, ensuring there's something for everyone with arts and crafts, workshops, circus skills and a ghost hunt.

Tara Bailey, Centre Manager at Brewery Square says: "Halloween is one of the highlights of the Brewery Square event calendar and what better opportunity to have another go at this world record breaking attempt. Last year, we came so close to breaking the record, but we're determined to make history this time!

"We can't do it alone, we need everyone to join in and help to make occasion even more ghostly!
