Warwick Town Centre Manager Kelly Scott shared: "What a wonderful week of Halloween and half-term activities here in Warwick. We first came up with this idea two years ago and built on it each year, with this year by far the biggest and best-received we've had.

'It was wonderful to see thousands of families pouring into the town centre right across the week, enjoying activities, entertainment, and more. "

She continued: "The aim of events like these was always to benefit everyone in the town. Not only have locals and visitors had the chance to enjoy affordable fun, but the appeal of a packed programme of events has brought more footfall into Warwick, benefiting businesses, tourist attractions, heritage sites and more."

"Each year we learn more about what works best, and we can take that to events and occasions throughout the year, ensuring we keep on reminding people that Warwick is an interesting, thriving town that's well worth a visit."
