Children at the National Memorial Arboretum

Aimed at 7 to 10 year olds, one of the activities will see them learn about the ancient traditions that have become a part of Halloween.

Older children can also take part in an outdoor escape challenged themed around the conflict in the Far East during World War 2.

Another trail for 3 to 7 year olds is themed around the popular character Stick Man.

Chris Ansell, head of participation and learning at the arboretum, said:

> “There is plenty for families to do at the arboretum this half term and our activities are a fantastic way of encouraging young people to embrace the great outdoors.  
>  
> “Whether you’re visiting to see Stick Man, learn about the roots of Halloween or solve intricate Second World War themed puzzles, there is something for everyone to enjoy.”  
>
