HALLOWEEN HOEDOWN
Saturday Oct 27th 6.00 to Midnight
Our fourth Halloween Hoedown. A magical combination of Fire,
Spectacle,Food, Costumes, Games, Music, Stories and, of course,
Pumpkins!
This year we are lucky to have sponsorship from Leisure in the
Community and Durham County Council to bring some extra
special additions to our celebration.
Community groups from across East Durham are coming together at the
Halloween Hoedown to share with us their ghost stories. Inspired by
Sarah Waters’ The Little Stranger, this year’s Durham Book Festival Big Read,
also currently on general release in cinemas, participants have been working
with writer Anna Woodford and Charlie Darby-Villiers conjuring up haunting
tales to share round the campfire. Groups have also been working with
artists from The Barn, creating a willow lantern installation to set a suitably
eerie atmosphere!
