All fright on the night as guisers turn out in force for woodland Halloween fun in East Kilbride

East Kilbride Community Trust welcomed over 1700 trick or treaters to their spook-tacular community Halloween event at K-Woodlands on Saturday.

There was pumpkin carving, broomstick making and Halloween stone painting galore, as guisers tucked into roasted marshmallows and braved a spooky 'zombie walk' through the woods.

Congratulations go to Travis Brown who won the best fancy dress prize for his frightfully good homemade costume - McDonald's fries.

Organiser Paula Murdoch, of EK Community Trust, told Lanarkshire Live: "I would like to say thank you so much to everyone who dressed up and came along to K-Woodlands on Saturday.

"Your outfits were fantastic and it was so heart-warming to see all the community coming together and socialising.

"This was the first major event in East Kilbride since the pandemic, and we were overjoyed to see everyone smiling, screaming but most importantly having fun.

"We could not have done it without all the help from all our volunteers and family and friends and the support from The Scottish Forestry.

"Thank you all so very much."

The Trust would like to thank Coca-Cola East Kilbride, Finsbury Food Group and Inverarity Morton for their generous donation of drinks and cakes and Morrisons Stewartfield Community Champion for their help and pumpkin contribution.
