Halloween in the Dales
An action-packed week of spooks and adventure for all the family – in the company of a real-life witch! Spell making, Halloween Trail, pumpkin carving, kids crafts and face painting.
Our friendly witch is brewing up a treat (no tricks!) for you this half term. There’ll be crafts, face painting and spell-making. On selected days during half term there will be spooky(ish!) stories round the campfire with toasted marshmallows. A carved pumpkin hunt will lead you round to solve the witch’s riddle and take in the seasonal sights and sounds of the nature trail as you go. Keep snug in the café with seasonal bakes and hot chocolates.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAMPFIRE ACTIVITY IS WEATHER DEPENDENT
