Submitted by Steve on 20:01, 31st Oct, 2016 | 0

On Sunday we held our last Spooky Tour and Hunt at the GSPCA with a group of 7 scary little monsters and witches.

Throughout half term we have held special tours at the GSPCA which included a quiz, meeting some of the more unusual animals, fancy dress and a very spooky room filled with prizes.

All the young monsters were accompanied by their parents and all had a great afternoon with yesterdays being the latest so was set in the dark to add to the spookiness of the event.
