Spooky fun at Longdown Activity Farm near Ashurst this Halloween

SPOOKY thrills are guaranteed as Longdown Activity Farm reopens its popular haunted barn to families during half term.

There will also be an opportunity to meet a real barn owl with the Creature Teachers who will be in the barn along with some creepy creatures like spiders, millipedes, and cockroaches on Friday 31st October.

Screaming with laughter will also be on the cards on Wednesday 29th October when family entertainer Crazy M pops by with a large helping of mischief, silly spells and madcap capers.
