October is the spookiest month of the year, when children dress as ghosts and ghouls, carve creepy faces into pumpkins and eat themselves into a sweet frenzy. It's Halloween of course, and Nottingham has plenty of family friendly things to do in the days leading up to Halloween, which happens on Tuesday, October 31. From ghostly walks to hidden pumpkins, here's the top family Halloween events in Nottingham.
