A GARDEN Centre in Chirk will be trying to get families in the spooky spirit this October with a number of events across the Halloween weekend.

Dobbies Garden Centre, in Moreton Park, will be offering terrifying treats for youngsters before taking part in games and dancing and they can showcase their best Halloween costumes in the fancy dress competition, with prizes up for grabs for the best dressed.

In addition to the entertainment, Dobbies’ Moreton Park store will be serving up spooktacular meals for children, including penne bolognese with vegetable sticks and chicken nuggets or fish fingers with chips and garden peas.

There will also be a variety of gluten free and vegetarian options to choose from.

Adults are also in for a treat, with the option of Dobbies’ ever-popular afternoon tea, which includes a selection of finger sandwiches, mini cakes and baked slices, freshly made plain and fruit scones with jam and clotted cream and the option or a pot of tea or small coffee.

If the grown-ups would prefer a lighter option, they can enjoy the cake and hot drink selection instead.

Sarah Murray, partnership and events manager, said: “Our Spooktacular event is extremely popular with families in Moreton Park, and we’re really looking forward to seeing lots of creative costumes in our stores this October.

"It’s always a fun time to get the family together and Dobbies has something for everyone this spooky season.”

Tickets are flying off the shelves this year, so parents are encouraged to book in early to avoid disappointment. Children tickets are priced at £8.99 and adults can join in on the fun from £6.50.
