More than 300 performers took to the streets of Paisley on Saturday night for the return of the Halloween Festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Community groups and professional performers joined forces parading around the town centre, with performances from drummers, dancers, and stilt walkers.

The route was extended this year to include Mill Street, as well as the usual loop around Paisley Abbey.

Some of the highlights included a ghostly pirate ship, a giant octopus, and a towering witch puppet.

Paisley Abbey and the Town Hall were lit up with a spooky light show, and families were able to enjoy a funfair, live performances and marshmallow toasting.
