ABOUT THE LOCKDOWN:
A group of brave ghost hunters will gather in the bowels of Old Granada Studios on Saturday 29th October to expose the dastardly goings on of Manchester’s undead whilst simultaneously raising cash for Forever Mancheser. Their only way out is to get friends and family to raise as much cash as they can for Forever Manchester.
Depending on how much money is in each competitor’s JustGiving account – they will either be released and whisked off to Forever Manchester’s Halloween Spooktacular at Old Granada Studios to party the night away, or they will be locked up for even longer until the last man or woman standing is solo – spooky!
