It’s the spookiest time of year and to celebrate Halloween we have found eight family-friendly events in and around Sunderland.
Halloween parties and trick or treating were put to a halt last year following the coronavirus pandemic, so this year is expected to be better than ever!
Take a look at these eight spooky events for all the family.
