We are planning to celebrate Lilys first Halloween in style here at Flamborough Rigg Cottage B&B. Sadly, so far, we have had no success in catching bats to hang up in our kennel but we have been collecting some lovely spiders, Phil will be soooooo excited when he sees them. Meg has her eye on a lovely pumpkin in the vegetable garden which we are hoping Caroline will carve for us ready for our spooky kennel party! We might even invite the pesky witches cat, especially if she promises to arrive on a broom.
For those of you who can’t make it to our kennel party here are some of the exciting events happening throughout North Yorkshire for Halloween.
