Here we feature 12 of the Halloween themed events taking place this year.

Join the zoo on October 28 for the return of its annual out of hours lock-in. The zoo will reopen at 6pm until 9.30pm, when it will celebrate all of the weird, wonderful and spooky animals with this year’s theme, Creatures Unseen! As the zoo darkens, you'll see the animals in a different light… some just waking up, eyes glinting in the shadows and you might just hear some hair raising howls. There will be BBQ food, Halloween treats, creepy activities and a spooky trail. Tickets will be available at the door during the event costing the standard entrance rates.
