Fearsome family fun in store at Summerhill

Published Friday, 19th October 2018

Families in Hartlepool don’t want to miss a week of frightful fun at Summerhill this half term.

The Halloween-themed week kicks off on Tuesday 30 October with a broomstick and wand making session for budding witches and wizards aged three and above, with activities running until Friday 2 November.

Claire McDonald, Hartlepool Borough Council’s Outreach Officer, said: “Our annual October half term week is always packed full of fearsome fun and outdoor activities.

“There’s something for families of all ages, from woodland games and a cookout to a storybook trail based around popular children’s book ‘Room on the Broom’.
