Spooky Halloween-themed half-term activities will be held for Oxford children next week.

Free craft sessions will be held by the Cherry Tree Nursery, in Headington, outside Barton shops, in Underhill Circus, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Children will be taught how to make spooky Halloween masks and flags, pumpkin window decorations, and scary dough models.

Nursery worker Tanya Field said children from both Headington and Barton were welcome.

She added: “Children love Halloween and there is going to be lots for them to do. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for children to get out and about.”

The sessions will be held from 11am to 1pm and will move inside the Barton Neighbourhood Centre if the weather is bad.

Free tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits will be offered to parents and children.
