For those brave enough to venture into the longest, highest and deepest canal tunnel in the country, Standedge is monster-packed with activities this half term, with exciting prizes on offer for those who let their imaginations really run wild.
On 30 October, there will be a Halloween Costume Makeover, where children can bring in clothes to transform into terrifying costumes for trick or treating. The following day, 31 October, there will be a Pumpkin Carving class, with pumpkins provided.
All activities will run twice a day, from 10am-12pm, and 1pm-3pm. Each activity costs £5 per child.
Boat trips
James Dean, visitor centre manager for Standedge Tunnel & Visitor Centre, said: “Kids really enjoy hearing about the tunnel's scary history from our expert guides. In addition to our Halloween activities, we'll be offering boat trips throughout half-term week, into the depths of the tunnel, which will keep everyone on the edge of their seats.”
