Stanley Square celebrates spooky pooches and their owners with a FREE Howl’oween fancy dress event designed especially for families and their furry friends.
Dogs and their families are invited to attend in their spookiest Halloween costumes and take part in a fancy dress competition. Those in fancy dress will be photographed and the three most ‘liked’ photos on social media will receive all the treats (gift vouchers), with no tricks included!
Good to know: Fancy dress is not mandatory, so all the lovely dogs will have the opportunity to have their photo taken!
Plus, we hear there’ll be some “doggo beers” to sample on the day!
🤣 ComedySportz Halloween Spooktacular
🗓️ Saturday 26 October, 6.30pm
📍 Waterside Arts, Waterside Plaza, Sale, M33 7ZF
🎟️ £8 adults | £6 concessions
There will be some frightfully funny shenanigans with ComedySportz at Waterside Arts in Sale this Halloween. This award-winning comedy show returns this October with more ghoulish gags and games to get you screaming with laughter.
The group has been entertaining audiences of all ages at Waterside Arts since 2010. In a regular ComedySportz match, two teams of top comic minds compete for laughs with quick-witted sketches, jokes and songs inspired by audience suggestions. There’s a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match with penalties for bad behaviour and bad jokes, with plenty of fun for everyone.
This time, however, the team are adding a little pumpkin spice to proceedings as the Dead and Boo teams – normally the Red and Blue teams – aim to raise a laugh and hopefully not raise the dead. The team also promise there will be treats for anyone in costume... or will it be a trick?
