Witches, warlocks and pumpkins are all being invited to a Halloween party by Great Yarmouth’s Mayor.

The themed evening is the idea of Councillor Terry Easter and his wife Jenny to raise money for charity and to provide an evening out for 200 revellers.

“We are hoping people will turn up in fancy dress,” said the Mayor. “There will be a prize for the best costume, so this is a good opportunity to be creative with all the things we usually associate with Halloween - everyone will be welcome from ghouls to spiders.

“The tickets are just £15 each making it a very affordable evening for anyone who wants to attend. Money raised through the event will go to my two charities the Alzheimer’s Society and Centre 81 which provides day care in Great Yarmouth. ”

The Halloween party is being held at the Grosvenor Casino, Marine Parade. A hot and cold buffet, a free drink on arrival, live entertainment and a raffle are already planned.

A £5 matchplay voucher will be given to all ticketholders, so if anyone wants to try a little flutter in the casino they will have the opportunity. An extra £5 matchplay voucher will be given to everyone turning up in fancy dress.

For those not wanting to don a Halloween costume the dress code is black tie.
