Hallowe'en fun down on the farm at HAPPA

The Horses and Ponies Protection Association is planning attractions for all the family with activities both online and onsite at Shores Hey Farm in Briercliffe, Burnley.

Starting on Saturday October 24th and running until November 2nd, those who book appointments to visit the farm will also be able to join in the Hallowe'en Hunt with Spook Stations set out across the farm. With a gift for all completed sheets, it’s a great add on for ‘little monsters’ for just £2 per puzzle sheet.

Those visiting The Café will have the opportunity to see The Headless Horseman and younger guests in fancy dress or spooky face-paint will be able to claim a free ice cream between 11am-4pm Monday October 26th to Saturday 31st.

HAPPA’s development manager, Julie Pharaoh-Gan, said: “Like every visitor attraction Hallowe'en half-term is important to us and is a great opportunity to create family fun and raise income.

"Every penny raised goes directly towards the core mission of rescuing horses and ponies from neglect. This year more than ever our Hallowe'en fund-raising is vital.

"We understand, that for some staying at home feels more safe at the moment, so we have lots to get involved in without going out. For those who wish to come to the farm we have put a significant number of measures in place for you to not only enjoy your visit, but feel safe too.

"Whatever you choose we would just love for you to be involved and support the charity this Hallowe'en.”

All appointments and bookings for The Café must be made in advance and under local government guidelines by calling 01282 455992.

Meanwhile, people can head over to the charity’s Facebook pages for some online skull-duggery with a Murder Mystery Event on October 30th. Tickets must be bought in advance for an exclusive link to the event to enjoyed in the comfort of your own home, tickets available at www.shoresheyfarm.co.uk/shop/

There’s also the opportunity to win a £20 Shores Hey Farm gift-voucher with the Pumpkin Carving Competition, free to enter between October 23rd-31st. Submit your entry via Facebook Messenger @ShoresHeyFarm

The HAPPA horses and ponies won’t be missing out either with a special ridden display on the 31st streaming on Facebook @HorsesPoniesProetctionAssociation
