The autumn break has started for school children across the Channel Islands.In Guernsey, the final 'bunker of horrors' will be held at Mirus Battery in St Peters on Saturday 26 October.

Donations raised by this year's spooky trail will go towards Health Connections Guernsey, Go Charity and La Houguette School.

This year's event is set to be the biggest yet, with a Terror Maze and twenty unique 'chambers of horrors'.

A family-friendly version will be held during the day, with a scarier event for teenagers and adults in the evening.

Event organiser Kim Carre told ITV News: "It’s a totally different atmosphere in the daytime.

"[Children] are with their parents and they are greeted by not scary things, they are greeted by really good characters and all they are interested in is the sweets really."

Visitors are encouraged to wear their wellies and to bring a torch.

In Jersey on Friday 1 November, the Channel Islands Occupation Society will be opening up the Strongpoint bunker at Corbiere for islanders to explore by torchlight.

Young and old are encouraged to wear their scariest costumes for an afternoon of activities, plus a short movie in French.
