Over 4,000 brave the freeze

The fun kicked off with free Halloween Freaky Tales and art workshop sessions taking place at Dungannon Library and Ranfurly House from early afternoon.

Halloween party goers enjoyed ghastly games, mystifying music, freaky face painting, brilliant balloon modelling, and dance along with some scary characters, as stilt walkers and fire jugglers helped to set the freaky, Halloween mood.
The evening finished with the highly anticipated spectacular fireworks display, which lit up the night sky above the town.
Plans are already in place for the next big event on the Hill - this year’s Magical Christmas Kingdom, happening from Friday, November 23 to Sunday 25.
