A WOMAN, who brings joy to hundreds of children in York each year, is ready to open her home to the community this Halloween.
Lynda Starkey, 74, who lives at Camellia Cottage in Kingsway West, Acomb, has transformed her garden into a creepy Halloween grotto to give children of all ages a chance to celebrate Halloween.
Last year, more than 400 people attended Lynda’s event - with some travelling over an hour despite torrential rain all day – and this year, she is expecting even more attendees.
The Witches’ Den – which is open from 9am until 9pm on Halloween – is a free event which features a variety of Halloween zones and games for children of all ages to enjoy.
