Here are our What's Ons for the week ahead (compiled by Liz Coyle Camp)

 ·         Halloween: When it comes to Halloween, Tisbury is a scary place, and it doesn’t get scarier than the New Vic@Tisbury: Here’s Arachna Beetlegeuse, the building’s caretaker and Steph Wells from the Tisbury Swimming Pool to tell you more: “Did you know that the Victoria Hall is the site of Area 51.5 – a top secret facility. But, tonight, Monday 31 October is the one and only chance for local families to see and experience the horror of what’s inside. Doors open from 5pm. £3 entry or 4 tickets for £10. There’s a Goodie bag IF you make it through to Elizabeth Hall, where there’s a Tombola and lucky dip games to play. Come if you dare!!!”  ·         Co-op: And if you’re trick or treating up the High Street tonight, the Co-op is holding a Halloween Costume competition from 5.45pm-6pm for kids aged 10 and under. Scary stuff!
