Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park is welcoming some of the world’s favourite Superheroes to the park on Monday 27 May. Superman, Batman and Captain America will meet and greet their fans throughout the day, as a way to celebrate the launch of the new Superman film Man of Steel .
When younger guests to Devon’s Crealy dress up as their favourite Superhero on the day, they will receive half price entry* to the South West’s No. 1 Family Attraction. And for the younger Annual Members who dress up on the day, they will receive a free fun gift when they arrive!
This is a national event, a day when farms around the country ask you to get on the land and discover what's going on at your local farm - plus entry is free!
So between 11am and 4pm come along to the farm and delight in all it has to offer.
Kevin and Jo will be making seasonal vegetable flatbreads and telling stories in the community garden.
Deggie & Dawn, whose potion making proved a big hit at Spring at the Farm, will be planting seeds in the vegetable garden and leading wild food walks.
There will be bush craft activities, tractor trailer rides...

Thousands of local school children enjoyed exploring the 118th Show and finding out more about where their food comes from. And...

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.
