Welcome to our special Better than Halloween page!

Better than Halloween is an exciting resource book that provides lots of ideas for running alternative events on 31 October for children aged 5-11. It includes a free CD-ROM, and is fully photocopiable.

'Better than Halloween suggests approaches and ideas that are both biblical and child-centred. I hope that many more churches will take confidence from these - let's re-christen Halloween!' Rt Revd David Gillett, Bishop of Bolton

'Let's make 31 October Better than Halloween. This new book provides lots of great ideas and resources for churches that want to create a positive experience for children that has the Light of the World at its centre.' Mary Hawes, National Children's Officer, Church of England
