Family friendly Halloween 2019 events in Liverpool the kids will love

Halloween is just around the corner, with costumes already on shelves and pumpkin patches already open.

While there are plenty of adult-only activities available, including Farmaggedon, families will also be looking into plans for the spookiest night of the year.

Other than trick or treating, finding something to do for the whole family can be a little more difficult.

Below, we’ve taken a look at what is happening around Liverpool this Halloween.
