The wind and prospect of rain, no biggie. Mini monsters and ghostly ghouls descended on our blustery park for some Halloween fun and a visit to the grotty grotto. A great family day with stallholders and Little Legs Bus providing entertainment. The fabulous DJ Owen Hill  volunteered his time, hosted the Ugly Bug Ball disco and played all the right tunes for some spooky atmosphere at the event.

Well done to all who made the effort and dressed up! Outfits were amazing. The winners of the fancy dress competition were:

Ruby 1st prize: 1 hour Party with AJ Entertainer worth £150
Frankie 2nd Prize: Family Breakfast at Hardie Park courtesy of Galloping Gourmates
Joshua 3rd Prize: 2 tickets to Santa at Hardie
Georgie 4th Prize: Disney Sand Art Kit courtesy of Kids Bee Happy Sand Art with Shell

Following a fantastic week of half term activities the finale was pumpkin carving. Thank you to the families who came along and made it such a creative and productive day!
