Jane Breach, community engagement and visitor centre team leader at Drax, said: “We’ve not been able to run Halloween events at the Skylark Centre for the last two years due to Covid restrictions, so it was fantastic to see families and visitors of all ages enjoying the half-term STEM activities with us this year.”

The drop-in events saw dozens of people join the ghoulishly good fun at the nature reserve.
