Glastonbury Zombie Walk returns for Halloween with free entertainment and costumes

Glastonbury’s Zombie Walk returns on Halloween, inviting families to dress up and join a town-centre procession to raise money for Children’s World.

The free event runs on Saturday, 31 October, from 5 pm to 7 pm. Entertainment begins on Magdalene Street before the Town Crier releases the zombies at 6.30 pm.

The procession will travel along the High Street, and residents and visitors are welcome to take part. Donations are encouraged to support the Glastonbury charity’s work with children.

This year’s entertainment features Glastonbury Dragon Drummers, Glastonbury Morris Dancers, Devito’s Circus and Amanda Perry. Dante and Morgan, from the Children’s World Youth Committee, will also take part.

Anyone who needs help getting into character can head upstairs at the Crown pub, where Children’s World will offer free face painting and costumes.

Roads will be closed from 4pm to 8pm to allow the entertainment and procession to take place safely. Organisers are asking anyone travelling into the town centre to plan ahead and allow extra time.

Children’s World provides creative activities, workshops and events for children, with a particular focus on those with additional needs. Donations collected during the evening will help fund this work.

Further information is available on the Children’s World website.
