People are cutting back on the number of fun activities they can afford to take part in, so we’re delighted to able to put on these free and accessible events.

“We’re proud to be partnering with some fantastic local businesses to run the scavenger trails, where families can claim a prize if they successfully find posters in ten shop windows.

“Driving footfall into our retail areas remains incredibly important and these free Halloween festivities will provide the perfect platform for families to spend their weekend in Worksop and Retford - bringing together our community to experience the fantastic business offerings on our high streets.”
