Terrifying clowns, scary skeletons and runaway brides were just some of the costumes spotted on the streets across the UK overnight, as revellers headed out to make the most of this Halloween weekend.

From London to Wigan, partygoers in all different kinds of outfits headed out on Saturday night to celebrate the spooky season, and made the most of the extra hour.

Leeds saw the streets packed with youngsters dressed in weird and wonderful costumes, from ghosts and pumpkins to The Spice Girls and the Scooby-Doo gang as many took part in the city’s renowned pub crawl – the Otley Run.

In the capital, many gathered for the second MCM London Comic Con event, with fans being seen on the underground dressed as Luke Skywalker and as cats.

Across the country police officers have increased their presence in an attempt to crackdown on anti-social behaviour over the Halloween weekend. 

Cities up and down the country remained relatively calm, after two years of Halloween celebrations dampened by the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the night drew to a close in Newcastle, however, things started to get rowdier with partygoers seen falling over in the street and lying on the damp pavement.
