STAFF from a Basingstoke craft store will be getting into the Hallowe'en spirirt to pull the pounds in for charity next Friday.

Colleagues at Hobbycraft, in Winchester Road, Basingstoke will be holding a Hallowe'en themed day between 11am and 3pm to raise money for Naomi House Children's Hospice, which is based in Sutton Scotney.

Staff will dress up in their scariest outfit and arts and craft activities will keep children visiting the store entertained.

Store manager Laura Mitchell said: “There’s plenty of creepy crafty fun at Hobbycraft this Halloween, so join us in store for a day of frightful fundraising for a very worthwhile cause.”
