Looking for something to do this weekend? Here are our top tips this week.
Local: Scaresville
During October at Kentwell Hall, a haunted village appears each night. Visitors to the village enter in small groups following a winding route through dark rooms, forests and farmland, lit only by candles and flares. The whole trip lasts one scary hour and booking, along with nerves of steel, are recommended!

International: Copenhagen Night of Culture
Every year in October, Copenhagen throws its doors open after dark for visitors to explore the city's museums, galleries, libraries, exhibition halls, churches and theatres. The streets of the cities are also full of music, talks, performances and food stalls. A Kulturpasset, gives entry to the venues and free shuttle transport around the city.

Hilary James and Simon Mayor, author and illustrator of Top That!'s Sing and Read Books, I'm a Parrot and Gobble! Gobble! Gobble! plan a jam-packed schedule of concerts for the upcoming months. Starting with the 'Musical Mystery Tour' specifically for children, Hilary and Simon will then embark on a tour of 'grown-up' concerts (see list below), in which children are always welcome.
