Youngsters are being challenged to join a ghost hunt at Halloween in Wat Tyler country park, Pitsea.

Children are being invited to experience the enchantment of the park, especially during the season of ghosts and ghouls, by taking part in the Bump in the Night torchlight tour along the witches' path past haunted cottages and barns.

The tour begins at 6.30pm and costs £1.50 per child, payable in advance.

Further details are available from Basildon Council countryside services on 01268 550088.
