PEOPLE who don’t want any trick-or-treaters at their door this Halloween can put up this poster.

Trick-or-treaters are also being advised to have fun safely by going with adults, staying in well-lit areas and not talking to strangers.

Chief Inspector Jim Baker of West Mercia said: “Everyone who wants to mark Halloween should be able to have fun without putting themselves or others in danger.”

He warned trick-or-treaters not to let their fun get out of hand and police would carryout patrols over the festival.

Meanwhile, there is fun to be had at countywide events.

Worcester’s historic Commandery in Sidbury is holding a fancy dress ghost hunt between 5pm and 8pm on Halloween. Entry is £4 per child, with adults free.

Stourport Basins host a Halloween weekend with a pumpkin competition for under-12s, starting at the Windlass Cafe at 3pm on Saturday. The Ghost Canal Boat will leave the quayside at 6.30pm, returning for the Monster Bash family fancy dress party and buffet at the Windlass Cafe at 7.30pm.

For party bookings call the cafe on 01299 871742. Otherwise log on to stourporttown.co.uk.
