The Curse of Plessey Woods

Plessey Woods Country Park will once again play host to the popular annual woodland Halloween event on Saturday 31st October.

The show, produced by the Rabbit Damage live performance company based in South East Northumberland, will feature "The wicked witch Baba Yaga and her evil exploits amongst the trees" as well as a custom made spooky soundtrack, live drummers, singers and flaming torches.

Despite the large turnout for the walk in 2007, the event wasn't very well received by Bedlington.co.uk members but the format this year has changed somewhat and promises to offer great entertainment on an epic scale. The night will now feature a 45 minute staged performance at 5pm which will be repeated at 7pm and 8:30pm.

Fancy dress is encouraged but visitors to the event are advised to dress in warm, waterproof clothing with sensible shoes. Hot drinks and hot dogs will be available from the visitors centre.

Andy Northey, Area Countryside Officer at Northumberland County Council said: "This is one of our most popular events in our calendar "“ we started receiving enquiries about Halloween back in January! It promises to be a fantastic night "“ if a little spooky!"

Tickets are available from the Plessey Woods Visitors Centre and are priced at £3.50 for children and £4.00 for adults. For more information call (01670) 824793.
