Halloween Maze

The Feather family have left the comfort of the graveyard to come back to say hello and see if they can join in with your Halloween Party.

Haunted trees follow their story through the maze to the witches house, the hope of the apothecary and back to their own beds in a spooky but fun trip through our Halloween Maize Maze.
