FAMILIES are invited to the Wilmslow Animal Sanctuary, Newgate, for its Spooky Barn event – if they dare.

‘Little witches and wizards’ can come along to enjoy ghoulish games, face painting and yucky dips in the eerie barn from 12-3pm on Saturday, October 29.

All visitors will be free to try wing of bat and eye of newt refreshments, but youngsters should watch out for creepy cobwebs and sleeping spiders while chasing ghosts in the barn.

There will be a prize on offer for the best Halloween costume.

For more information call 01625 520802.
