A spokesperson for Derry Halloween said it will be here from 1pm to 9pm, adding: “This giant spider, presumed to be extinct returns for the first time to the 21st Century as the Derry Halloween world’s awaken. Roaming the streets, looking for prey, or anyone brave enough to say hello!

“Find Arachnobott wandering around the City of Bones, in Guildhall Square and Waterloo Place!”
