If you live in the Cookstown area, there are plenty of tricks and treats this Halloween.
Fireworks, food and fun will be on the agenda at the Mid Ulster Sports Arena on Saturday, October 27 from 5.30pm.
Hundreds of people are expected to gather to enjoy some scary antics before the grand finale fireworks extravaganza at 8pm that will brighten up the dark skies into a fantastic fanfare of colour and lights.
Children can get ghoulishly creative at the Halloween themed arts and crafts station, listen to storytelling by Winifred the witch, be amazed by the fire performers, have a spin in the Vortex Tunnel and get to meet the spooktastic Halloween characters throughout the evening.
They will also be able to burn off some wicked energy at the climbing wall, krazy karts and caterpillar train. There will also be music, face painting and lots more to help keep your little monsters entertained. If you get hungry, there’ll be a wide range of food stalls offering sweet and savoury tempting treats.
Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Sean McPeake is looking forward to an action-packed week of Halloween activities in Mid Ulster.
“Mid Ulster certainly has something for everyone this Halloween. Whether it’s spectacular fireworks you’re after, spooky arts and crafts or free fun fairs, there’s plenty of activities taking place at each of our sites throughout the week to ensure you and your little ones have a truly haunting and hair-raising Halloween,” he added.
Those attending the fireworks are advised to arrive early for parking and viewing. On the night please be aware of the traffic system in place. People attending the event will gain access only from Mid Ulster Sports Arena so don’t forget to wrap up warm!
Car parking is available at Loughry College, where will be a small shuttle bus to and from the arena.
The event is being organised by Mid Ulster District Council and admission is free.
