Southport Pleasureland, the 'Happy Halloween Capital of the UK!'
We recently returned to Southport for the first time since September 2009 and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the Pleasureland theme park had reopened. Not only that, but it looked to be doing very well and they had really gone to town on the Halloween theming.

In fact they've gone so far as to declare themselves the 'Happy Halloween Capital of the UK!'
I don't think I have ever seen so many pumpkins in one place before. There are thousands of them there!
 |
| The pumpkins came in all shapes and sizes |
 |
| Plenty of characters too |
 |
| Some were ominously congregating |
 |
| Others were on their own |
 |
| There were clowns |
 |
| 'Sleeping' ones |
 |
| And more traditional Jack-o'-lanterns |
Unfortunately since our previous visit the Moroccan Adventure Golf course has been removed as the park has had extensive changes made. The area that was once home to the minigolf course is now a pathway. A shame really.

However, the rest of Pleasureland is great. We really enjoyed our wander round - especially the walk through the haunted maze.
