The family-friendly Halloween event took place at Brunton Park ahead of Carlisle United’s home fixture against Harrogate Town. The Neil Centre and Fan Zone were transformed for an afternoon of spooky entertainment, with activities including a mini disco, scare maze, face painting, spooky alpacas, fun fair, bouncy castle, Halloween arts and crafts and a Horror House. Families were also encouraged to get into the Halloween spirit with a fancy dress competition.
Students Ellie Thompson, Esther Murphy and Jasmine Wilson took on character roles during the event, helping to entertain children and families and create a suitably spooky atmosphere. They did a fantastic job of getting into character, engaging with young visitors and bringing plenty of energy and enthusiasm to the experience.
The opportunity enabled the students to gain valuable experience, developing their confidence, characterisation and audience interaction skills while also strengthening their work experience profiles.
The event was also a great example of Carlisle College students using their skills to support activities within the local community.
A huge well done to Ellie, Esther and Jasmine for representing Carlisle College so brilliantly!
