THERE has been a lot of spooky fun for youngsters at Worcestershire’s County Museum this week.

The museum at Hartlebury Castle, near Stourport, has offered youngsters and their families the chance to sample some autumn treasures to help keep the half-term holiday blues at bay.

Visitors are having fun carving their own pumpkins, making autumn scrapbooks, scarecrows, puppets and seasonal mobiles.

Tomorrow the focus will switch to the spooky goings-on of Halloween with treat bags and scary stick puppets. Call the museum on 01299 250416 for more information.
