Darker side of Roald Dahl for Halloween at Llanfyllin Youth and Community Centre
The darker side of author Roald Dahl's books were brought to life for children ahead of Halloween.
Arts Connection brought a Roald Dahl-themed Halloween adventure to the Llanfyllin Youth and Community Centre.
Every child had the chance to carve a pumpkin and families were able to find out more abut the scarier creatures written about by the famous writer with creepy craft activities. Storyteller Millie Jackdaw also joined in the fun, with a performance of her spellbinding "Troll Tales Told To Dahl" show.
She said: "Roald Dahl spent his childhood summer holidays with his family in Norway, where his grandmother told him folktales populated with one-eyed trolls, friendly giants and child-eating witches.
"These darkly absurd, often grotesque and magical stories clearly influenced his writing."
The event on Tuesday was supported by Literature Wales and Welsh Government as part of the Roald Dahl 100 Wales celebrations. Arts Connection is a community arts charity based in Llanfyllin that works across North Powys, Wrexham and the borders. The organisation is revenue funded by the Arts Council.
