Dress up, plug in and lurch your way round town as cult comedy crew return for spooky walking rave

Frome's favourite misfit party crew are back—and this time, they're bringing the undead with them.

Rare Species Entertainment, the twisted minds behind Frome – The Fecund Coming and Saggers Plays Pop, return this Halloween with a zombie-themed silent disco walking tour that promises frights, laughs and some truly terrifying dance moves.

Led by the delightfully dreadful dancer Virginia Saggers, the undead conga kicks off outside Frome Town Hall on 31 October. It's billed as the perfect alternative to trick-or-treating—with a spooky circular route, a curated Halloween soundtrack delivered straight to your headphones, and a chance to lurch through town as your favourite zombie, ghoul or ghost.

Headphones are provided on arrival and the volume is fully adjustable—but organisers recommend cranking it up loud for full horror effect.

Tickets are £12 plus booking fee via Eventbrite, and fancy dress is highly encouraged. The event is open to ages 8 and up, though all under-18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Expect ghoulish grooves, eerie encounters and "mildly scary" surprises along the way. Just don't call the Town Council—this party is all Rare Species.
