So whether you have been organised for weeks with a costume or will be rushing around to grab some last minute inspiration, we want to see your best costumes for the event

We have taken a trip down memory lane to find photos of your kids dressed up as characters.

Click through the photographs above to find out who were the most popular characters at Oldham schools in time.

Do you have any memories of your kids taking part in these events, get in touch to tell us more about the day.

This year, we want to see your most unusual entries as well that might get people guessing who they are.

We want to get your photos this year for a special supplement so email them to robert.kelly@nqnw.co.uk and we will feature them
