Spooky fun at Herringthorpe Valley Park

LITTLE ghouls and ghosts are being given the chance to get into high spirits and celebrate Halloween early with a day full of thrill and spills.

Held in the spooky surroundings of Herringthorpe Valley Park on Wednesday, October 27 and Barkers Park, Kimberworth Park, on Friday, October 29, anytime between 1.30pm and 2.30pm on each day, fearless kids will be able to test their map reading skills around the park in safe and secure surroundings.

The events have been organised by Rotherham Borough Council’s green spaces team.

Council officer, Donna Morton, said: “Join us for a haunted hunt around horrifying Herringthorpe Valley Park.

There are clues to find, questions to answer and prizes to be won. “Don't worry about being too scared though, come in fancy dress and you’ll be able to scare off any ghouls lurking in the woodlands.”

Youngsters will be asked to collect a free answer sheet and spooky map from the pavilion. There is no charge to join in the fun.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information contact 01709 822453.
