Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever heard footsteps or voices that seem to have come from nowhere? A fantastic multi-day Halloween event will take place in Boston on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 October, with Ghost tours and a wide variety of children's entertainment for all to enjoy. Meet with the Blackfriar, The Grey Lady and the Judge... and then tell us ghosts don't exist!

Each tour will take an average of 45 minutes and take encompass three of Boston's most historic buildings - Blackfriars Arts Centre, Boston Guildhall and Fydell House, all with their own haunting histories and visitors may find more spooky surprises on the way.

Tours cost £3 per child, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult - there is no charge for adults supervising children. These tours are aimed at primary school aged children. The 16+ version of the tour costs £3 per person. Advance booking is essential.

In addition to the tour, there will also be a range of free children's activities available at Fydell House from 10am - 3pm on both Thursday 26 and Friday 27 October, with arts and crafts, face painting, vegetable critter carving and walkabout entertainment. No pre-booking required.

Cllr Dale Broughton, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Town Centre at Boston Borough Council, said: "This spooky experience is taking place over the half-term holidays, a time when many local families will be looking for activities in the area; the Ghost Tours are the perfect way to spend quality time with family or friends this Halloween!"
