Running from 30 July – 15 August, it really is the best way to keep your little monsters entertained this summer.
This year is bigger (17 days) and better (waaaay more venues and even more free activities) than ever before. We’re talking spooky night time screenings in museums, 4D cinemas, outdoor cinemas, dinosaurs (dead), owls & frogs (real), Jim Henson, Ray Harryhausen, Tim Burton, fancy dress, art activities, filmmaking workshops, facepainting, food, dancing and a hell of a lot more.
As usual we will be taking the screenings in to some very unexpected places to showcase the best in Greater Manchester’s arts, heritage and cultural venues – so make sure you are covering the story!
