All aboard for a weekend of spooky fun!
There's ample opportunity to get into the spirit of Hallowe'en, or, for those who prefer, start some Christmas shopping or rejoice in the humble apple.
*GET ready for the spookiest ride of your life in Weymouth.
This Hallowe'en, join Jurassic Skyline for a live Freaky Flight at 5.45pm on Monday October 31 with ghoulish and ghastly stories plus an hour-long Ghost Walk hosted by local historian Dave Allan.
Learn about Weymouth Harbour and when it was riddled with the Plague, the terrifying being that lives in Old Custom House, murders in The Boot and see if you can spot the Ghost Ship from the top of Jurassic Skyline, with a cider in hand.
Due to the nature and the content of this event, it’s suitable for 18+ only as you’ll discover what truly goes bump in the night around the Quay…
Places must be booked at Jurassic Skyline.com
There will also be special Hallowe'en Ghost Story flights taking place tomorrow and Sunday between 11am and 5pm. No booking is necessary.
