Prepare to be thrilled as the Rattling Ribcage Railway rolls into town!  

This pedal-powered float is a spectacular sight. Draped in the bones of a skeleton and wrapped in the silken webs of a giant spider occupying the first of three carriages, it is surrounded by a swirling cauldron of bats haunting the night air around the carriage. 

This delightfully spooky train weaves through city streets and cobbled grounds, bringing a playful tone to the All Hallows' Eve celebrations. Its haunting presence transforms any event into a memorable, atmospheric experience. 

Depending on your vision and budget, performers can join each carriage, dressed as ghosts, skeletons, witches, wizards or any creatures from your imagination, adding layers of theatrical enchantment.

Spine-Tingling Extras 

Elevate the fun with additional walkabout animation, from our lively roaming skeleton puppets to an eight-metre-long wriggling leech that adds a thrilling touch. For large-scale celebrations, this can expand into community workshops or a Halloween procession, inviting everyone to join the spooky fun.
