Halloween revellers hit pubs and bars clad in fancy dress to celebrate the spooky holiday in the rain last night.
Manchester’s clubbers braved the rain to celebrate Halloween dressed in a range of costumes from Scooby-Doo characters to the go-to devil fancy dress.
While some sensibly took raincoats and umbrellas, others ended up drenched as Manchester was hit with yet more rain on Saturday night.
The Met Office extended the heavy rain warning to cover the weekend with some parts of Britain experiencing four inches of rainfall and 55 mph wind gusts.
But Halloween revellers were determined not to be deterred by the miserable weather and decided to make the most of the weekend regardless, hitting the streets and doing their best to shelter from the downpour.
