YOUNGSTERS got the chance to dress up as ghouls and monsters during their half-term.

More than 100 children and parents packed into St Aidan's Church Hall, St Aidan's Way, Gravesend, to take part in a Hallowe'en party.

The young people aged between five and 12 took part in apple bobbing, face painting and dancing at the disco.

The event, on October 28, was organised by Groundwork Kent Thames-side and Westcourt Residents' Association.

Groundwork Kent Thames-side is a Dartford-based environmental charity which organises projects to regenerate residential areas across north Kent.

Community development worker Jo Sage said: "The children had a great time getting their hands dirty and especially enjoyed having their faces painted and dressing up for the fancy dress party."
