Hordes of zombies parade through Weymouth town centre

Hordes of zombies, ghouls and witches met on New Bond Street in the town centre on Saturday morning to take part in the procession.

Led by a massive severed foot on wheels, the creepy crew made their way down the street before turning to St Thomas Street and up St Alban Street before making its way left up St Mary Street towards the King’s Statue, before looping over a second time.

"I wanted to come down today because it’s something nice for the kids over half term, and we don’t really celebrate Halloween properly around here, not like in America- so I thought it was something different.

Zombie Week saw a host of activities sweep across the seaside town during the half term, which also included an immersive zombie experience at the Nothe Fort, called Nothe of the Living Dead, as well as a host of family-friendly activities throughout the town.
