Families are invited to enjoy free Halloween-themed arts and crafts workshops at The Malls shopping centre this October half-term.

Across three frightfully fun days, The Malls will host creative workshops designed to keep little monsters entertained. Each session runs from 11am to 4pm and is completely free, with friendly workshop leaders on hand to help children get stuck into the Halloween fun.

On Saturday 25 October, children can kick off the half-term with a creepy-crawly craft session, making pipe cleaner and fir cone spiders, bats and witches.

Then on Monday 27 October, the fun continues with a Halloween lantern making workshop, where the kids can design and decorate glowing creations to light up the autumn nights.

Finally, on Thursday 30 October, children can get creative with a pumpkin decorating workshop, transforming pumpkins into spooky showpieces.

Centre Manager Lisa Evans said: “We love seeing families come together at The Malls, and half-term is the perfect time to offer something fun, free and a little bit spooky! Whether you’re decorating pumpkins or crafting bats and witches, there’s something for everyone and plenty of shops to explore while you’re here.”

From spooky crafts to tempting treats, The Malls has everything you need for a fang-tastic day out. Come for the Halloween fun, stay for the shopping.

Families can find everything they need to plan and enjoy their visit on the website at www.TheMalls.co.uk.
