About this event
Halloween is coming to arc this half term, with two days of entertainment taking place across the centre on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th October.
On Thursday, our Roller-Skating Pumpkins will be making their way around arc throughout the day, stopping for photos and handing out treats along the way. Glitter tattoos will also be available from 10am–3pm, with donations supporting our Charity of the Year.
The entertainment continues on Friday with our Pumpkin Heads roaming the centre, meeting visitors and posing for photos. Face painting will be available from 10am–3pm, with plenty of Halloween designs to choose from for a minimum £2 donation to our Charity of the Year.
The Great Pumpkin Trail will also be running across arc. Stores around the centre will each decorate their own pumpkin and display it in their window for families to find. Pick up a trail map when you arrive, mark off the pumpkins as you explore and return your completed map to the event team to collect a Halloween treat.
Entertainment will take place throughout arc, including Auction Street and Gosnold Street.
