With school out for half-term the ghouls rule at a creepy carnival which has returned to Norwich for some fiendish but fabulous family fun.
With Halloween almost upon us The Monster Club is back under the big top at the Norfolk Showground in Costessey for some seasonal shenanigans.

Marshalled expertly by the fantastic Friedrich Fright (Pip Randelle) who was the comic compère who holds the show together like a ghoulish glue there is also music, dance, magic, circus tricks and much more.

There is something for everyone, young and old, in this brilliantly bubbling cauldron-like comic caper.
The madcap 'If I were not in the monster club...' dance is like the main course of a show which is garnished with music and dance and seasoned with some impressive circus acts befitting of its big top home.

It's a peach rather than a pumpkin of a show making it a must-see this Halloween.
The Monster Club is at the Norfolk Showground until Thursday (October 26) with shows at 2.30pm and 6.30pm.
