Pumpkin Parade
Saturday 27th October 2018
It was really cold in the park, but fortunately, the rain stopped and we had a very good turnout. The Hallowe’en cakes and pumpkin soup were very popular and the children enjoyed the bat hunt around the park and the craft activities inside the pavilion before the prizes were awarded for the best five pumpkins and Halloween costumes. It was very hard to choose as so much effort had gone into the entries. Everyone got a sticker for participating and lots of sweets were consumed! We had a lot of positive feedback from those who attended. Someone commented on the spooky atmosphere. Others felt that the event had a real community feel to it. Many thanks to everyone who helped on the day and with the preparation.
