Disabled children in Alnwick Garden Treehouse Halloween fun
Disabled children had an exciting time after an Alnwick venue was transformed for Halloween.
The Halloween Spooktacular was organised at the Alnwick Garden Treehouse and funded by Northumberland County Council's Aiming High for Disabled Children project. Wilkinsons, which has opened a shop in Alnwick, provided the decorations and 39 children and their parents and carers enjoyed the party.
Wilkinson Alnwick store manager Lee Wade, who attended the party in vampire fancy dress, said: "The Treehouse looked fantastic on the evening; the creepy decorations went down a storm with the children and everyone had a frightfully good time."
Helen Shepherd, fundraising manager for The Alnwick Garden Trust, said: "We have been providing fun experiences for children with disabilities and their families since October 2010 and many families commented that this was our best event yet. All staff involved enjoyed it as much as the guests."
The Halloween fun continued with a competition to design the scariest mask. Pupils from Amble Links First School competed and three winners, from foundation, key stage one and key stage two, were selected and received a Wilkinsons' voucher worth £50 each, to spend in store.
