Tivoli...the dark side

But great fun for all ages, really though the Scary otel opens at 17:00 and is for kids aged 12 or over. But it all shut down on 27 Oct ready for Christmas preparations so don't miss it.

Lots of props for a party of your own back home.

Cuddly spiders everywhere.

A choice of sticky tricky sweets and drinks. But mind you don't get legless
 in front of the kids - like this skellybones (as my Grandad used to call them).

Looking slightly peaky after a ride on the octopus?
Monster pumpkins.

19,000 pumpkins altogether.

And plenty of scary stuff hidden in flower beds.

A whole house

And a 'make your own pumpkin lantern' stall.

Here are some that were on show. Great fun.

If you haven't made one yet, watch out for our DIY post
showing how we made our lanterns. It'll be along in a couple of days:o)
