Hold on to your pumpkins, Castlefield Viaduct have got treats (and a few tricks) for Halloween.
There’s a not-so-creepy wildlife trail for your littlest tricksters and a tour of the witch’s ingredients growing on the viaduct for older and big kids alike. They might *even* be getting a visit from a Manchester monster.
