DRINKERS are invited to join a zombie pub crawl for charity this weekend (Sunday, April 27).

The Half a’ween Zombie Crawl, so called because it is being held half a year away from Halloween, will begin at The Angel, on Crossgate, Durham City, at 11am on Sunday.

It will finish at The Angel at 6pm, with food available.

Halloween-style fancy dress is mandatory.

The stunt is to raise money for the Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry) charity. There will be collection tins in the pubs taking part.

Jo Ferry, manager at The Angel, said: “Halloween night is one of the best nights for all the pubs in the city but it’s so far off we have decided to have a half a’ween night to give people the opportunity to get the ghoulish fancy dress out and have some fun across the city centre pubs.”
