A SPOOKY pumpkin trail is all set to arrive in Upton next week as part of the half term Halloween celebrations.

The free pumpkin trail, hosted by Upton upon Severn Tourist Information Centre (TIC), will take place on Friday, October 29 and Saturday, October 30.

There will be 15 pumpkins with ghoulish faces hiding around the town, where children will be able to follow the trail to pick up the letters and win a prize.

Trail sheets can be collected from the TIC at the Pepperpot from 10am on October 29 and completed answer sheets returned by 5pm on October 30 to collect a prize.

Fancy dress is encouraged, but not essential.

Cllr Daniel Walton, portfolio holder for tourism and economic development at Malvern Hills District Council, said: "We are really happy to be hosting this Halloween trail which is something fun that the whole family can enjoy.

"It is the first ever pumpkin trail we have held in Upton and the town centre is a perfect location for this kind of activity."
