Nearly 200 children took part in a Halloween trail and fun day at a town park at the weekend.

Wyndham Park in Grantham came alive yesterday (Sunday, October 26) as families flocked to enjoy the Bats and Cats Halloween Trail.

About 175 children followed Alwyn, a witch’s cat who had lost its shadow, hunting for clues hidden across the park.

Those who completed the trail received candy rewards.

The event featured a magical performance by circus duo ElJayInMotion and an appearance by Wyndhamara the Witch, creating a thrilling atmosphere for visitors.

Storytelling sessions and a Halloween-themed duck race organised by Grantham RiverCare added to the family-friendly fun.
