The streets of Walsall are set to be hell as all things evil take over the town.

Walsall Teaching Primary Care Trust and Walsall Council are teaming together to bring mayhem to the streets in an all new Wicked Health Day. The event which is being held on Friday 27 October 10am-3pm is set to be a scream with ghosts, witches and were-wolves haunting the streets plus lots of activities that will leave your hair standing on end.

Paul Jennings, Chief Executive of Walsall Teaching Primary Care Trust, said: “There are many horrific health problems which people don’t always know enough about. Halloween gave us the opportunity to raise awareness of such problems but in creative and interesting way.”

Rachel Parker, Principal Arts into Health Development Officer, said: “We wanted to put on a high profile event in the town centre and decided to base it around Halloween as it gave us the opportunity to use creative ideas to promote health awareness.”

Watch out for the evil mis-fortunate teller in the market who will be reading horrorscopes and enticing children into Halloween games guaranteed to keep them on their toes. If the shoppers make it through the market unscathed beware of the villainous Vampire who will be handing out forbidden fruit and balloons to all who dare venture to Civic Square.

The Town Cryer is sure to send a shiver down the spine of Walsall residents with his shouts of doom and gloom, but fear not as they will be able to escape to the safety of a marquee at the Town Hall in Leicester Street. Once safely inside, face painters will transform shoppers into evil monsters giving the ghouls on the street a run for their money. There will also be health care staff giving out advice and checking residents blood pressures are not sky high after all the tricks and treats of the day.

As well as all this there will be street performers, a hellish accordion player and headless horseman driving a horrific hearse around the streets handing out Wicked Health Day trading cards with Stressed Ed, Faggie Aggie, Bloat Man, The Monster Club and Bob the Binger needed to complete the set.
