Halloween in the City descends upon Manchester City Centre this October.

The celebrations will kick off with a week-long colourful invasion of the MCR Monsters, followed by a two-day family-friendly festival happening at venues across the city.

See how many monsters you can spot around Manchester City Centre. Plus, expect to see ghoulish green lanterns and a massive monster music festival as well as a frightfully fun fancy-dress challenge and a hair-raising monster procession, featuring stilt walkers, a live band and even more giant monster puppets.

The celebrations get bigger and better each year. Join in, dress up and party on.

Follow the fun on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok @HalloweenMCR.
