Spooky Trail at Great Notley Country Park
Visitors set off across the country park on a self-guided search for lurking witches, werewolves, and magical creatures. Children count the creatures they spot, uncover hidden magic letters, and help the rangers complete a spell to send them on their way. Those who complete the trail can submit their answers to enter a prize draw, and dressing up in costume is encouraged.
