COSTUMES at the ready as Parkdean Resorts announces a frightful line-up of spooktacular activities and entertainment for October half-term.

With 66 parks open throughout the school holidays the whole family can enjoy packed schedules of ghoulish fun.

Little monsters are invited to dance the night away at the Spooky UV Disco and take part in themed activities with the Starland Krew, as well as pumpkin carving competitions, trick or treat roulette, face painting and seasonal arts and crafts.

On an evening there'll be hair-raising live shows to keep you cackling all night long, and the Halloween fun isn't only reserved for little ones, as there'll be themed cocktails for adults.

Parks will also be hosting a Monster Ball where holidaymakers are encouraged to come in spooky costumes for a best dressed competition, and will be treated to stand-up comedians, a live zombie band and three course meal.

Aside from all-things-Halloween, the parks have a wide range of facilities to make the most of during a half-term getaway. These include indoor swimming pools, amusement arcades, soft play and restaurants. Accommodation options range from caravans and lodges to glamping tents and touring and camping pitches.
