Nearly 300 people attended a free Halloween family fun day at a Wisbech community centre which was described as its best ever event.

Youngsters made lanterns and decorated cupcakes, masks and finger puppets at last Wednesday’s event at the Oasis Centre.

There was also messy play, ceramic painting, card making and plenty of free fun things to make and take home.

Centre manager Chris Stevens said: “Attendance was great. We had 87 families, nearly 300 people, making this our best event ever.”

The event was funded through Family Learning, Cambridgeshire County Council, and run by Wisbech Community Development Trust with support from CP Learning Trust, Ormiston, Roddons Housing Association, Wisbech Library and Community House.
