College On The Coast in Halesworth's Halloween event

Suffolk New College On The Coast in Halesworth hosted a free family day.

Funded by the Visitor Economy Network Initiative Project, the campus based on Harrisons Lane saw around 100 children and adults take part in a host of activities.

Hair and beauty students painted youngsters' faces and leisure learning tutors showed people of all ages how to make cupcakes and floral arrangements.

Families were also given the chance to make ghoulish pumpkins and pizzas.

She said: “We wanted to do something community focussed. Lots of people don’t know we exist.

"We had people of all ages coming. Halesworth is very driven by a strong sense of community and we are very proud to be part of that and everyone has been very receptive to us and this event.

“A huge thank you to everyone who came along, it’s been so vibrant and buzzy. My message to others is to come and have a look, see what we do and get involved.”
