As well as tricks and treats along the way, guests enjoyed an interactive special effects show at the ‘Spooky House’ in the park. The celebrations included bubbles, a children’s disco, arts and crafts, and messy play in the ‘Witch’s Kitchen’.
There was also bespoke show on the theatre stage, ‘The Time Travellers’ Halloween Adventure’.
