El Poble Nou de Benitatxell prepares the cemetery and designs its agenda for All Saints' Day

• The municipal venue will have extended hours and live music on November 1st to mourn the deceased
• The children's and young people's activities will include horror films, parades, passages of terror and 'Survival Zombie'

The Council of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell is finalising all the details so that the municipal cemetery presents its best appearance on the occasion of All Saints Day.

Over the last few days, the brigade and municipal services are carrying out intense maintenance, painting and fine-tuning tasks of the interior and exterior gardening of the cemetery. Among the specific actions to condition the facilities, the repairs carried out on walls and floors, as well as the change of doors of the enclosure, stand out. In addition, new signage has been implemented designed to facilitate the identification and location of niches and columbariums through a clear organization by numbers and zones.

Regarding the schedules, with the intention of facilitating visits by neighbours and families to their deceased, the enclosure will have an extended schedule from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during October 30th and 31st and November 1st. As usual, the Local Police will establish special traffic regulation, surveillance and information devices at the times of greatest influx, in addition to ensuring accessibility by reserving parking spaces for people with reduced mobility.

Children's and youth programming

The programme will start on Friday, October 30th at 6:00 p.m. at the Municipal Library with a Cineclub session 'Horror Edition' for all audiences.

The main course will come on Saturday, October 31st with the 'Nit d'Ànimes'. The day will begin at 5:45 p.m. with a costume parade from the Town Hall to Llebeig street, enlivened by the Bandeta. From 6:30 p.m., Llebeig street will host terrifying games, while at La Pau street there will be a mini-disco and the Social Centre will host the passage of terror 'The sarcòfag of the pharaoh'.
