Youngsters took part in a variety of Hallowe'en arts and crafts in Abbey Park.

About 50 children visited the education centre at the park to make broom sticks, Hallowe'en cards and design their own spiders.

They also bought pumpkins to carve, dressed up in ghoulish costumes and took part in a spooky quiz.

Park officer Jenny Jackson, who organised the event, said: "It went really well, most of the kids got dressed up and looked great."
