Safe and Fun Falkirk Halloween Activities During COVID-19

This year’s Halloween will be a bit different for everyone. Some of our local people and community groups are organising alternative outdoor Halloween activities and sharing their crafty ideas so everyone can still enjoy the holiday safely across Falkirk.
