Spooky Heritage Halloween Event
Pumpkin Fun
Create a Kirkham heritage inspired pumpkin, which will go on show in an amazing frightful display in the town centre! It could be inspired by the textile mills, Romans, football heritage or maybe even the biscuit factory, or a night club. You choose! Get more info and ideas from our handy Pumpkin Painting Guide.
Create your masterpiece. It can be a carved or painted pumpkin.

Shadowy Tales & Strange Stories
Have you seen a ghost or do you live in a haunted house?
Have ghostly goings-on or phantom folktales about Kirkham been passed down through your family?
Gather around the virtual campfire to share your spooky stories at a special evening event held on Tuesday 26th October at 7:00pm. Hosted on Zoom by Northwest based artists Liz Chapman and Dustin Lyon. The artists are hoping to use these stories in an exciting art installation at the heart of Kirkham later on in the year. This workshop is aimed at adults but families are also welcome.
