"It's helped put Warwick on the map as a great destination for spooky season," reflected Warwick Town Centre's Manager, following the town's successful Halloween week.
This year's Halloween festivities saw hundreds of families take to the town to enjoy the packed programme of Halloween-themed events.
Families enjoyed everything from haunted houses and ghost stories to creepy crafts, trails, markets, and family activities.

It comes as part of the town's week-long celebration of Halloween activities from Monday 26 October to Saturday 31 October, giving families plenty to get involved in.
This year's theme was pumpkins, with the town centre getting into the spirit with a pumpkin trail and Halloween window displays, alongside a free Pumpkin Giveaway in Market Square on Tuesday, 27 October, a Pumpkin Carriage, spooky cars, a Terrifying Town Crier, Monstrous Mayor and plenty of interactive games and activities.

The programme was brought together by Warwick Town Council and involved attractions, venues and businesses from across the historic town to ensure people of all ages have plenty to do for a week of affordable fun.
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."
