There will be spooks and scares for all ages with the return of a family friendly Halloween event this October.
Family Fright Fest, from the organisers of Psycho Path at Lintz Hall Farm in Burnopfield, County Durham will return this year with a host of Halloween activities aimed at under 12s.
Bosses promise the event, which is a sell-out every year, will be bigger and better than ever before.

Christiano Crawford, director and one of the creators of Psycho Path and Family Fright Fest, believes this the best year to date.
“Every year we add more and more attractions and have more and more surprises for youngsters,” he said.
“Family Fright Fest has become as popular as Psycho Path because children just love all of the Halloween-style adventures they can have which can be a little bit scary but only in a way that they love.
“We know it’s going to be another brilliant season and we hope as many people as possible will enter into the spirit of the event and dress up.”
Visitors can enjoy daily stage shows including a superhero spectacular, Halloween-style pantomime of Frozen, and the largest fairground the event has had.
Two scare mazes, toned down from the adult Psycho Path also returning in October, will be on offer along with a games barn and ‘pick your own pumpkin’ area.
For the kids and grown-ups there’ll be a host of street food vendors including Greek favourites, Acropolis, Doughvine Desserts, Ronnie’s Fish and Chips, Twisted Chick Fried Chicken, burgers from Fat Hippo and Truly Madly Pizza.
Family Fright Fest will run every Saturday and Sunday from October 14 until October 29, open from 11am until 4pm.

The event takes place on the same site as Psycho Path, the award-winning adults only scream park which earlier this year was voted the best in the UK.
