As you journey through the meadow and woodland, look out for each lesson along the trail. Can you spot the lesson and work out which class it belongs to?
At every location, write down the spooky lesson on your trail sheet and match to the correct class to help restore order to our school of magic. As you follow the trail, use your 3D classes to reveal a secret hidden letter. The letters will spell out a magic word. Return to the Mill shop and speak the magic word to stop the mischievous witches and ghosts mixing up the lessons again.

✅️ FREE ADMISSION, DONATIONS WELCOME
This event is organised by the Firework Display volunteers, who are a working party of the Parish Council and hopefully you will agree, that it is a well run event that relies heavily on volunteers. The event is free (we do not charge an admission fee), and this is where we need your help. It is entirely funded through sponsorship, donations on the night via the bucket collectors, and the sale of raffle tickets. This money enables us to cover our costs and then enables us to be able to put the event on again the next year. Please look out for the bucket collectors on the night and the marques where raffle tickets will be sold. If you don't see anyone on the night - don't worry - you can still donate via our Just Giving page.
We are always looking for volunteers over the weekend, so if you have an hour or two to spare please sign up here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4FA8AB29ABFDC25-55375346-redbourn#/
