Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble - the things that await you and almost have to be seen, when mayhem and mischief comes to Sheffield this Halloween.
To heavily borrow from Shakespeare.
But with the spooky season upon us, and with half-term just around the corner to boot, what better way to keep the young ones - and a certain few older types - occupied over the season with a series of Halloween-themed events taking place in Sheffield this month?
Be it something for the oldies with some classic macabre movies being shown, or picking out the perfect pumpkin for a Jack O Lantern, we’ve pulled together 19 events already confirmed for the city this year, with some events a nominal grazing of silver across the palms of those in charge of the proceedings. Or contactless, if you don’t happen to carry any silver on your person.
Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot!
