Treignes invites young and old to take part in various horrible activities in Treignies on 30 October 2016.

Are you scared of the big bad wolf? Then watch your step when you are in the woods near the Eco-museum of Viroin, or you just might end up being his next meal!

In the corridors of the Espace Arthur Masson, don't trust your neighbour. Is he really what he seems? Do you dare visit the Musée Malgré-Tout where you might be transformed into a werewolf?

Grab your fancy dress costumes, Treignes awaits you for a spine-chilling day!
