All Saints Day's Night Family Walk
Venue: Newtown Road Cemetery
Friday, November 1, 2024

Bring the family to an event in the cemetery. You will be met by characters in costume and will have to join them in a walk allong some of the cemetery paths. Along the way you will be asked to carry out tasks that will increase the likelihood of memergising a ghost. The Great Memergiser will ask you to light candles and to chant magic words.

The tour finishes in the Chapel where there will be things to look at, things to think about and refreshments.

£10 for the whole family. Remembrance stones to take home.
