Valeting duties will be performed by the undead

A Halloween-themed car wash is returning to the Sunderland Live exhibition and events venue this October.

Rather than featuring dirty water, grit-laden sponges and dish soap, the fear-filled feature will see drivers and their families sit inside their vehicles while ghosts and ghouls carry out valeting duties.

Special effects are also set to ramp up the experience, while participants must both stay in their vehicle throughout, and sign a disclaimer before partaking – though there is no age limit for entrants.

The event runs from 17-31 October and costs £22.25 per vehicle.
