Blood Curdling Fun for all the Family
This half term come and meet the horrible
Halloween ghosts and ghouls at the Rare Breeds
Centre, and be prepared to be scared…are you
brave enough to talk to them as they walk around
the farm?
underbar the Wizard will be in the Discovery
V
Room telling scary stories and singing spooky
songs – join in and help him with his spells and
see what happens!
The Rare Breeds Centre is very pleased to
announce that Wiley Wolf Productions are
returning with ‘Scare Glow’ their u.v. show – a
unique and exciting experience for all the family,
totally spellbinding and not to be missed (two
shows per day).
Be transformed into a witch, ghost, skeleton
or something more friendly. Jax, their incredible
face painter, will be there to make your dreams
come to life (extra charge).
Take the Spooks Quiz Trail around the farm
and earn yourself a sweetie treat by finding all
the ghosts and their names.
Take part in The Halloween Hog Race – the
infamous pig race takes place daily; the more
you shout the faster they run.
The Rare Breeds Centre is owned by The Canterbury Oast Trust
(COT) – a dynamic and forward-thinking charitable trust, set up
in the mid-1980s by a pioneering group of parents. Today they
support adults with learning disabilities across Kent and East
Sussex to live independently and take control of their lives.
They provide quality homes, support and training, placing
an emphasis on developing independence, skills and changing
perceptions. They currently house 100 individuals in Kent and
East Sussex, and support a further 70 at any one time to develop
their skills, confidence and work experience through their six Life
Skills projects (all social enterprises). And they are supporting
more people all the time!
They encourage everyone – including adults
– to come in fancy dress, and there is a daily
competition for the best dressed spook, witch
or ghost – prizes for kids only though!
The Granary Restaurant will be serving
spooky sausages, scary soup and festering fairy
cakes at very reasonable prices. There is a great
choice for everyone including vegetarians.
All this and friendly farm animals, indoor
play barns, creepy crawly world and lots more
indoor and outdoor fun!
