Knutsford town centre was alive with Halloween spirit on Friday, 30th October, as hundreds of families participated in the annual Pumpkin Path event, enjoying spooky activities and community celebrations.
Organised by Knutsford Town Council, the popular event saw families follow a pumpkin trail around the town centre. Businesses along King Street, Princess Street, and Minshull Street contributed with Halloween window displays, fancy dress, and trick-or-treating opportunities.
Local shops and businesses enhanced the event with creative decorations and a warm welcome. Attendees were treated to live performances by Knutsford Beats and Halloween-themed dance entertainment from SMB Dance, which encouraged crowds to dance in the street.
A revamped Wallwood area proved a highlight, featuring spooky lighting in the trees, a witch's cauldron, and a cemetery-themed setting that offered ample opportunities for exploration and photographs.

Supporting local events and bringing people together is something we’re passionate about at NFU Mutual Knutsford, so it was a pleasure to be involved. We’d like to thank everyone who helped organise the event and everyone who came along to make it such a success."

We really appreciate the support of the local businesses who stayed open, decorated their windows and got involved, as well as the families who came into town, dressed up and enjoyed the trail and activities. It is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy the town centre, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make it happen."
