For those of you with children or wanting to feel like some, here are some local events.

Halloween Bat Walk in Mayow Park. Starts at 6 pm from the main entrance in Mayow Road - look out for the pumpkins at the entrance!

Sydenham Traders annual Children's Fancy Dress and Hallowe'en event in Sydenham Road. Starting from Kirkdale Bookshop at 4pm, the event continues throughout the high street at participating shops until 5.15pm. Fancy dress will be judged back at the Bookshop at 5.30 pm. The event is sponsored by, and prizes will come from, Sainsbury's.

I have "borrowed" this information from the really good Sydenham Town forum. Thank you (http://forum.sydenham.org.uk/)
