Halloween Party


Plenty of fun and games and goey things and dancing (and the children can join in too if they like. Free to existing friends of Blaen Bran members but non member children can join up for £2 (to become a child friend of Blaen Bran) which will last a year and include access to other children’s events happening in the coming year.
There will be a limit to the amount of places so it will be a case of first come first served. I’d also appreciate it if people are definitely coming to let me know so I can get enough icky silly stuff in 🙂 children must be accompanied and supervised at all times. Fancy dress and other fun things to be confirmed later.
