Daily from 24th October - 1st November

Commonly known as the bitter sweet brothers, Fergus Fang and Frightful Fred are identical twins.However, aside from their looks nothing about them is identical.

Fred is very bitter and always playing hurtful tricks! Fergus is very sweet and never wants to put a foot out of place.....That is until today!

Frightful Fred has played a nasty trick on his brother, changing the shampoo to green hair dye! Fergus Fang wants to get his own back and has decided to create a poison apple potion. Don’t worry this poison apple isn’t quite as deadly as the one you may see in fairy tales but it will give his brother all sorts of interesting symptoms.

Search the Grounds for some unusual ingredients and discover the strange side effects to each ingredient!
