Join the RSPB up on Bempton Cliffs this Halloween for family events filled with fun and an opportunity to find local wildlife while getting in the spooky spirit.

The first event is called “Terrors at Twilight” where you can visit Bempton Cliffs and create your own magic wand before you embark on a torchlit spooky walk in the nature reserve.

Once you have found all the creepy creatures of the night, you can walk back to the visitor centre for some hot chocolate around a firepit.

You can toast marshmallows while listening to ghost stories about the numerous shipwrecks along the coast.

Fancy dress is definitely encouraged, but make sure your spooky costume is warm and you have suitable footwear - Bempton Cliffs can get very blustery and cold!

Event date and time: October 29, 5pm to 9pm.

The second event over the spooky season is a Kraken Treasure Hunt up on Bempton Cliffs with a prize awaiting anyone who finds the hidden treasure.

For hundreds of years the terrible monster of the deep has haunted our coast and sunk ships full of treasure.
