Halloween is creeping us on us, and Wolves has plenty of ways to mark it. From Northycote Farm’s spooky trail to a villain-themed bottomless brunch, there’s no shortage of seasonal fun to be had.
And if spooky isn’t your thing, then there’s a city-wide art project, a two-week run of Mamma Mia! and set of creative workshops for little dinosaur fans on Sunday.
Beyond the weekend plans, we’re getting a new mobile health hub, Christmas lights switch-on dates have been confirmed, and there’s a £5 bowl of pasta you need to know about.
