Halloween is one of the busiest times of year in Stoke and this year is no exception, with an estimated 700,000 people ready to join in the local celebrations!
The party will begin with the ceremonial burning of the (wicker) witch, which won't feature a real witch obviously, as the burning of witches was outlawed in Stoke in the 1980s. Jonathan Wilkes will light the witch, designed this year to look like Sir Jimmy Savile, with a traditional Stoke molotov cocktail before the celebrations get into full swing with ethnic dancing and naked tom-foolery.

Highlights this year include a parade of movie villains and a float featuring Tony Pulis as "king of the parade".
Police have warned revellers to check that they buy their LSD from reputable outlets following last year's "psychedlic shitstorm", when a bad batch lead to a mass outbreak of diarrhoea in the city.
