East Riding Libraries launches two family-friendly, Halloween inspired events to keep the family entertained this October half term.
The Mountain Witch is an enchanting production from Speedwell Dance inspired by the timeless themes of folklore and the human experience.
Through dance, music and song, the adventurous tale tells the story of an ancient and powerful witch, seasons gone awry, and the determination of children to put things right.
The event is suitable for families with children aged three to eight.
