FAMILIES across Inverclyde who attended spook-tacular activities as part of this year's Galoshans Festival are being urged to share their thoughts on the ghoulish goings-on. 

RIG Arts and Feral teamed up to run an incredible programme of scary, and not-so-scary, events in locations all over Inverclyde to mark 10 years of the frightening festival. 

While the official numbers have not been revealed yet, the Telegraph understands that it's likely that more than 700 people attended events overall.

RIG Arts co-founder and chief executive officer Karen Orr said this year's extravaganza was bigger and better than ever before - and said the team now needs help from the people of Inverclyde to help sustain the festival's success in the years to come. 

The centrepiece of the festival was a huge street party, and other events were full of stories, dancing, music, art, literature, and film. 

Karen said: "We hope we can continue to run a festival of this size in future years but it's all subject to funding. 

"We really need people who attended events to let us know what they thought of them.

"That will help us understand what we did well and what we can improve on in the future. 

"Feedback means we can provide evidence of what we've achieved, and that will help us with funding applications. 

"Securing funding helps us keep the activities free for families."

This year's Galoshans festival was led by RIG Arts and Feral, and supported by Beacon Arts Centre, Oceanallover, Oi Musica, Creative Scotland, Inverclyde Libraries, Magic Torch Comics, Trancnd, Inverclyde Council, Kayos, Clyde Muirshiel, The Wyllieum, Watt Institution, and Rock Choir.

She added: "Everyone contributes to make it a really strong community programme. 

"It's really inclusive and we're reaching a really wide audience. 

"There were activities across the whole of Inverclyde, and we tried to take the festival everywhere."

Karen said partnering with Feral has helped bring 'really high end street performance' to Inverclyde, and given people the opportunity to see things they wouldn't normally see.

Karen added: "We are really pleased and amazed with this year's event. 

"We want to say a huge thank-you to everyone for taking part and supporting it.

"All of the events were really well-attended. 

"We're really happy with everything and we've had some really positive comments on social media, so overall it's a big thumbs up."
