As the number of Covid-19 infection rates continue to rise across the county, members of the public are being encouraged to find other ways to celebrate the spooky festivities safely this Halloween.

That's the message from Cheshire Police, who also want to dissuade people from trick or treating on Halloween night to avoid people mixing in large groups or knocking on the doors of those who are self-isolating.

Cheshire West is currently in tier 2 of the government's Covid restrictions, which means households are not permitted to mix indoors and are limited to the rule of six outdoors, while adhering to social distancing measures.

So, with traditional celebrations, such as parties or large gatherings, now out of the question, we put together a list of activities you can still enjoy this Halloween.

1. A Trip to the Cinema

Chester's Storyhouse is showing a series of Halloween films at its drive-in cinema, Moonlight Drive. These include Hocus Pocus, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Coco.

2. Arley Hall's Spooktacular Garden Trail

Dress up in your best Halloween costume and take a tour round Arley Hall's creepy Halloween gardens!

3. Ho Ho Scarecrow Trail

This weekend is your last chance to see the amazing scarecrows on Helsby's Ho Ho Scarecrow Trail.

Explore local residents' SpongeBob SquarePants, Fantastic Mr Fox and Room on the Broom displays, and maybe find some treats along the way!

4. Spooky World

Tickets for Spooky World's thrilling scare attractions have sold out on Halloween night. However, there is still availability for the Spooky-at-Night children's event on Sunday.

Book now for a slightly-less-scary version of Spooky World's famous Haunted Hay Ride, House of Horrors and Field of Screams!

The advised age for these activities is 10 or older.

5. Halloween Scavenger Hunt

Parents could lay out a scavenger hunt around the house or outdoor areas of their garden for children to explore and find hidden treats.

6. Spot the Pumpkin

Parents can prepare a bag of treats for their children or household and go on a pumpkin hunt around their local areas.

Every time a child spots a pumpkin they get a treat. Trick or Treat with a difference!

There are plenty of other Halloween activities that you can still enjoy from home, including homemade piñatas, apple bobbing, lucky dips, donuts on a string and making slime!
