‘Middle Mayfield did an amazing job, we had such a fun time, so nice to do something like this during this smelly pandemic!! Thank you!
Start at the Rose and Crown from between 3pm and 5.30 pm daily. Turn up at any time and follow the trail which takes around 30 minutes. Trick or treat stalls and donations towards Mayfield playground fund and I S A.
Our kids loved this today
Rebeccathanks for all the effort behind this !! Epic trail !!
Absolutely loved the Spooky Trail today
The organiser, Kate Glover, told the Parish Magazine editor about the walk.
“How to fill the void left by lockdown crafting now the kids are back to school!? Plan an overly ambitious interactive walk for charity of course.
In truth I love doing things like this and for once I have the time to do it. I originally planned to do set design at University before the more grounded option of History won out. I should have stuck with set design but it’s always easy to find ways to be creative.
I should probably be resting on the couch everyday watching This Morning and catching up on Netflix, but from the minute we bought our cottage in Mayfield I knew I wanted to do something to help redevelop the playground. My twins Molly & Hope are also very settled and happy now at Ilam Primary so helping their Parents Association feels worthwhile.
Plus what are the youngsters supposed to do this year without being able to trick or treat!? It’s been so miserable for them and harder to keep them entertained now the weather has turned.
So what’s the walk all about? The idea is that families follow a one way route around Middle Mayfield. The houses already provide a great
backdrop, but I’ll be decorating them with props and figures. At each stop the kids will have to solve a riddle, exchange an item (i.e Goblin Gold from the curiosity shop for entrance to the Monster Ball) or answer a quiz to earn honorary sorcorership to the Middle Mayfield School of Magic. We’ll have a Sweets and Treats stall to end the walk.”
Last day is 1 November – don’t miss this magical walk equally entertaining for children and adults!
