GHOULS come out to play at Oxford Castle tomorrow with the return of Ghost Fest.

The Halloween festival will see the ancient castle site, located off New Road, embrace its bloody past with a series of spooky events.

The 'If you dare' guided tours will take a sinister journey inside the haunted heart of the1,000 year old former castle and prison.

From Saturday, families can also enjoy a gruesome ghost trail suitable for all ages.

On All Hallow's Eve itself there will be a special late-night tour that will conclude at the stroke of midnight with a glass of bubbly to toast the end of Halloween.
