Happy Halloween!
Halloween is is a spooky time of year, but do you know what the history of Halloween is in the UK? It comes from the phrase All Hallow Even – which is basically saying that it is the eve of All Hallows (Saints) Day) in the English Christian calendar. The Celts believed that evil spirits came in long hours of darkness and they would build bonfires to chase them away, particularly in Scotland and Ireland. Since the 19C Halloween has stirred up images of ghosts and witches!
We’ve holding a Halloween party for everyone this Friday, where you can spook each other – see below for details.
