A ghost hunt in the garden.

VISITORS to a popular Northumberland garden centre will be able to enjoy some spooky fun to celebrate Halloween.

Managers at the Azure Garden Centre and Cafe in Cramlington have come up with some ghostly goings-on to both scare and delight families on Saturday October 31.

A ghost hunt around the centre will be held throughout the day with a free toffee apple for every successful entrant.

At the same time a face painter will be offering youngsters the chance to be made up as ghouls, ghosts, witches and wizards between 10am and 3pm.

There will be a demonstration of vegetable carving, including pumpkins, from 11am.

Young people who have already created their own pumpkin can bring them into the centre, with a pounds 50 prize on offer for the best carving.

Cafe Azure is also creating its own spooky menu for the day with a range of foods including pumpkin pie.

The event is part of a programme of activities planned at the state-of-the-art centre.
