So the children might have only just gone back to school after the summer holidays, but we all know that half term will soon be upon us.

So why not take advantage of this great competition to pamper mums and dads and keep the kids occupied too?

Because this week we have teamed up with Hanbury Manor in Ware to offer one of our readers the chance to win an overnight stay for a family of four, at the luxury hotel during the October half term. And a full English breakfast is also included.

But what’s even better is that you can take the kids too and during the day, they can take part in a full activity programme as part of Hanbury Manor’s spooky kids’ week.

Taking place between Monday 25th – Saturday 30th October 2010, the Halloween Half term has some brilliant activities including spooky storytelling in the Library, pumpkin carving, Halloween crafts, scary ghost walks (not for the faint hearted), nail-biting movies, cooking concoctions including Pizza & biscuit making, Halloween disco and creepy creatures visit from Paradise Wildlife Park. If this gets a bit too scary they can blow away the cobwebs with multi-sports & tri golf activities.

Your kids will be able to choose from the following days activities, depending on when your overnight stay is:
