Fifty young people enjoyed a frighteningly good time at a Halloween event organised by Lowton West Residents Group last week.
A terrifyingly good Halloween trail was set up in Braithwaite Park by 12 volunteers, with cauldrons of sweets along the route.
Twelve clues were hidden along the trail on scarecrows, skeletons, pumpkins, bats and broomsticks ending with the appearance of a live witch at her cauldron and a very scary live ghost and ghoulish circle.
The Halloween trail was made possible thanks to the volunteers from Lowton West Residents Group and money from the Brighter Borough fund, secured by Golborne and Lowton West Councillors, Susan Gambles, Yvonne Klieve and Gena Merrett, as well as donations from Lowton West Resident members.
Linda Graham, Chair of Lowton West Residents Group, said: “We had a ‘full house’ with fifty accompanied children – many in fancy dress – completing a very atmospheric Halloween treasure hunt through the woodland in Braithwaite Park.
“It was really lovely to see so many excited faces and the feedback from mums, dads and children was overwhelmingly positive.”
