BRAVE fundraisers are being urged to spend the night ghost-hunting in Smithills Hall.

On Saturday, March 1, the doors to the historic building will be open to 35 people who will be sponsored to ghost hunt for the night.

Money raised will be given to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Natalie Cossins, regional fundraising manager for the trust, said: "This is the first time the CF Trust has organised such a night in Smithills Hall, so everyone should be prepared to expect the unexpected. One thing we can guarantee is that the Fright Night will certainly be a night to remember."

Ghost-hunters will be entering Smithills at about 8.30pm and will stay until 1am.

There is a booking fee of £25 per person and anyone taking part is then asked raise sponsorship for the CF Trust.
