Campers not only learn the basic elements of the game, but at the same time improve...

Finding stuff for the kids to do over Halloween can be pretty scary, when all they want to do is dress up like monsters and play practical jokes. It's worth remembering that the more treats you give them, the fewer tricks you can expect in return! So it's the perfect time to treat them to a game of bowling at Tenpin.
The centre is offering a deal of one game of bowling and a burger meal for just £6.99 per junior and £9.99 for adults.
Where oh where did the first half of term go? Half term always catches me by surprise, but thankfully lots of people in Exeter have been busy thinking ahead and planning a host of half term activities to entertain your children and at the same time probably give you a bit of a breather. This coming week is, of course, also Halloween, providing even more opportunities to get active in and around the city.
We will have daily updates next week, but to get the party started, here is a selection of fun things to do during half term and for Halloween.

I also have to admit to being indifferent to the steady...
Adapted from the short story, Pobby and Dingan , by Ben Rice, The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan will be coming to the Northcott Theatre this Sunday and is recommended for children of nine and over. The Stage said of it "This Tasmanian writer has a quirky, audacious, wonderfully unfettered way of looking at life'.
The storyline is based around Kellyanne’s best friends, Pobby and Dingan. Her big brother Ashmol hates them. They’re invisible and they make her act weird. Everyone thinks she’s a fruitloop and it’s no fun having a fruitloop for a sister in Lightning Ridge....
