Customers on the day will be able to vote for their favourite costume and the stall holder with the most votes will win.

Voting customers will also be entered into a prize draw and the winner will be announced at 3pm on the day.

The event will run from 9am to 3.30pm, and with free admission and free parking, it's a fantastic free day out for all the family.

Matt Williams, manager at Penkridge Market said: "We love to get the traders involved in things like Halloween, as it gives the market a great atmosphere and makes it more fun for the children going around the market.

"If any customers would like to dress up in fancy dress too, then that would be great, as it all adds to the fun."

The winner of the 'best dressed' stall holder will be announced outside The Old Deanery Farm Cafe.

All the regular market stall holders will be there selling lots of 'sweet treats' for your 'trick or treaters' as well as handmade chocolates, fudge and toffees, for the adults.

There will also be stalls selling everything from fabulous food and drink to gifts, toys, handbags and hats – a great place to start your Christmas shopping.

The Old Deanery Farm Cafe, will be serving a wide range of hot and cold food from a bacon sandwich to delicious fish and chips, as well as a variety of refreshments stalls on site.
