“We are really excited to bring this Halloween fun to the town for half-term, it is a great free activity for families to take part in.”

“I would like to say thank you to our sponsors, The Crown Hotel. Crown Place will be turned into a Halloween haven, so make sure to share your pictures.

“There will also be free Halloween crafts and games to take part in at The Place within the hotel, keeping families entertained after completing the trail.

“We will also have our spooky street entertainers in town on Friday 31^st October and Saturday 1^st November, keep a look out for their tricks and treats!”
