Kent's Halloween Haunts
No longer confined to the neighbourhood and family home, Halloween celebrations have taken on a completely
new meaning of late, and we're enjoying every second of it. Gone are the days of witches' hats and apple bobbing,
as spooky mazes, ghostly trails and haunted rides have taken over in favour of a much scarier, forbidding Octoberend. Cranking up the fear factor, these Kent events promise to make all of your screams come true in 2014.
