HALLOWEEN is just around the corner and a frighteningly fantastic event is set to be held for youngsters in Bradford.

A free pumpkin carving workshop will take place at the Broadway shopping centre on Friday, October 27.

And there will be a spook-tacular live carve on a giant pumpkin as well. 

The fun will take place between 11am and 3pm.

A spokesperson for the event said: "Come along and get into the Halloween spirit when you can pick up a free pumpkin and take part in carving workshops.

"Plus there will be a live carve on a giant pumpkin too."

Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars.

It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes.
