I was thinking of going to some of these events, if anyone else fancied going? I won't be on the bike - she's going away for the winter shortly (I know, I know! I used to laugh at 'fairweathers'!!) and I wondered if just in general they might be of interest on here?

The only one I might not go to is the Nosferatu thing as I'm out that night. I was thinking of suggesting bonfire night, too...
I quite like the *sound of a silent halloween movie with atmospheric piano. Tis shame I is permanently skint. *No pun intended lol.
I notice there are no prices for these events, Sal, are they free entry?
Liverpool was *city of culture* not too long ago kwakgirl, so I suppose us Mancs must be really cultured.(ex Manc too aren't you?)
The one that would interest me most Sal would be Pendle Witches one, quite fascinating all that stuff.
