Spooky fun by the lake

Children can find out what goes bump in the night and see what mysteries the park hides before Halloween night begins.

The "Park of Mysteries" event, taking place on Wednesday October 31 between 11am - 5 pm, invites you to come dressed in Halloween costumes and walk around the park to solve a spooky mystery.

Visitors can choose from 3 different spooky challenges that ghost and ghoul hunters wish to take depending on their bravery, but, beware, you'll meet some fearsome creatures along the way! Look out for the vampire, witch and other surprises.

Cabinet Member for Culture and Tourism, Councillor Amy Rushforth, said: "The Halloween event at Thrybergh Country Park is one of the highlights of the year.

"It's famous throughout the borough as the scariest day of the year and anyone who goes is guaranteed a hair-raising time!

"It's the perfect way to get into the mood for a night of trick or treating."

£2 per person, under 3's free. There is no need to book in advance.

Each paying customer gains a free item; all children taking part will receive a spooky prize and the adults will be able to gain a free hot drink with their ticket.

The Lakeside café will be open for some devilish treats.
