Halloween at Rushfear and Craigavon Lakes taking the 'spooktacular' centre stage as Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council vow a 'fang-tastic' experience

As ghoulish as it gets, the Halloween Carnival Parade on (Thursday 26 October) from ‘Rushfear’ Shopping Centre is hellishly good and one of the most exciting attractions of the season. Tiny little ghostly figures mingle with older more terrifying ones in the parade across the beastly bridge to the spooky grounds of South Lake Leisure Centre.
