SPINE-CHILLING adventures are in store in Weymouth with a week dedicated to zombies in honour of Halloween.

The week of the October half-term holiday will see zombies taking over the town from October 26 to November 3.

Weymouth will transform into a hub of eerie excitement and undead activities, promising unforgettable experiences for families and thrill-seekers alike.

The week's activities will kick off with an interactive zombie treasure hunt, with live action characters on Saturday, October 26 from 11am to 3pm.

It costs £2.50 for a group of four and booking is advised. 

A free zombie treasure hunt will then continue to run throughout the week via posters with QR links to videos.

A zombie parade will take place on Saturday, November 2. Join the horde or simply watch in awe as the streets of Weymouth are overrun by zombies.

Dress up in your best zombie or Halloween attire and be a part of this spectacular event. The parade will start at 11am - ghouls, ghosts, witches and the undead are all welcome!

There will also be an immersive zombie experience at the Nothe Fort in Weymouth called Nothe of the Living Dead,

Navigate through a post-apocalyptic world and test your survival skills to see if you have what it takes to escape the clutches of the undead.

There will also be a number of family-friendly activities held throughout the town.

From face painting to pumpkin carving, there's something for everyone.

Kids can enjoy a range of fun activities while adults can indulge in the Halloween festivities.

Dawn Rondeau-Irvine, chief operations officer at We Are Weymouth said: "We are excited to celebrate Halloween here in Weymouth with a host of zombie and Halloween-themed fun.

"When we were approached by the Nothe Fort and Island Community Action for funding to bring the Nothe of the Living Dead concept into the town centre, we were thrilled to support this, in order to offer something unique to the town for both visitors and locals.

"Weymouth is renowned for dressing-up and the ‘party atmosphere’, and we were excited for the opportunity to work collaboratively in this way to bring a full week of activities to the town.

"We believe that ‘Zombie week’ is set to be huge and will launch a legacy event that we can build upon for future years.

She added that the excitement is 'tangible' as the town’s businesses are taking part.

"Expect to find witches, ghouls and zombies at every turn, offering a unique blend of fun and fright for all ages," she said.
