Spooky half term events

Squires is gearing up for half term fun.

Squire’s Garden Centres is looking forward to welcoming young visitors for some half term fun with some spooky themed activities.

Youngsters will be invited to paint a spooky tealight holder and enjoy a free ghost hunt.

Squire’s popular Create & Grow event is a great way to fill a morning during October half term with some fun creative craft activities which include painting a ceramic witch’s hat tealight holder, priced at £6.50.

When finished, it can be taken home – along with a complimentary battery-operated LED tealight – to brighten a bedroom or corner of the house during the dark, spooky evenings that lie ahead from half-term onwards.

Advanced booking is required – which can be done online or in-store. The painting activity lasts approximately 20 minutes and should be booked in advance, with visitors invited to go to the information desk on arrival.

There is also a free Ghost Hunt, with clues to find along the trail around the garden centre to complete a spooky word – with a ghost-themed sticker to receive on completion. No booking is required for this.

A half-term visit to enjoy some ‘spooky’ fun at Squire’s can be extended with a visit to the popular Café Bars at all centres and a light bite from the ‘Little Gardener’s’ menu.

Sarah Squire, chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres, said: “Once again we are delighted to be able to offer families something fun to look forward to for October half-term and the autumn season.

“Children seem to love this week in our centres and we’re sure the tealight holder activity will capture young imaginations.

“I am sure there will be an amazing variety of decorations and I hope children will enjoy their creations at home during the darker evenings to come.”
