A Worcester bar is encouraging people and their dogs to dress up for a Halloween party.

Tortugas in Friar Street is hosting a Halloween party featuring a Caribbean buffet on Sunday, October 30.

And unlike most parties, four-legged friends will be welcome to attend - especially if they are dressed for the occasion.

Owner Connor Mazzocchi said well-behaved dogs are usually welcomed into the bar area, which is separate from the main restaurant, so it made sense to include them in Tortugas’ Halloween plans.

Entry to the party, which is being held in conjunction with Aztec rum, is £15 on the door and includes free shots on arrival plus a hot buffet featuring goat curry and other Caribbean treats.
