Hello and welcome to our October issue of Primary Times in Lancashire!


In this issue we have lots and lots of fun places to go over the October half term and beyond, we hope you will find something enjoyable to do and please say you saw the event or venue in Primary Times!


As always our ‘Panto Preview’ features the spectacular productions that will be performing at local theatres. We know that Christmas time could be the first time our younger readers get the opportunity to visit the theatre and we believe it is one of the best experiences they could have.


We also have a Hallowe’en feature in this issue, with fun ideas for a spookily special half term! Once again, we would like to thank our advertisers, our schools for distributing the magazine and finally, you, for taking the time to read it. We hope you enjoy the magazine as much as we enjoy putting it together and we will be back for our final issue of 2017 in November.
