What a frightful
Halloween spirits were high as people across Maidstone, Malling and Weald donned fancy dress and put on ghoulish make-up.
People were seen running scared at the weekend.
It was the Maidstone Parkrun group, which saw 352 runners attend, many in costume on Saturday morning.
The group meets at Lock Lane in Sandling and heads out on nearby roads.
Fremlin Walk offered families a safe trick or treating trail led by a friendly story-telling witch and free face painting was on offer for little ones.
On Friday, Yalding Orchard celebrated in seasonal style with a fun day involving apple pressing, wand and lantern making and food foraging.
It culminated in a spooky fancy dress competition, won by Emily Bacon, and was hosted, at Yalding Fen, by the Kent Community Rail Partnership, Medway Valley Countryside Partnership and Kent Orchards.
Pubs too played their part in conjuring up more spirits, plus wine and beer.
At the Good Intent in West Farleigh, no part of the pub was left uncovered when it came to decorations. Regulars also showcased a range of devilishly-good costumes and their efforts raised money for charities helping the homeless.
A Halloween party was also hosted by The George Inn, Yalding, attracting revellers of all ages, whle celebrations at The Style and Winch in Maidstone’s Union Street involved turning the pub into a cemetery – complete with a coffin.
Young Draculas and werewolves chose to haunt the golf course at the Marriott Tudor Park Hotel and Country Club in Bearsted as part of the junior golf camp.
The final camp for 2016 is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday December 20 and 21.
