Spooktacular half-term fun is on offer for Hallowe'en at Church Square Shopping Centre in St Helens, with lots of Trick or Treat activities lined up.

A host of spooky activities, led by children’s favourite Shopper Whopper, will make October 31 a Frightening Friday at the busy shopping centre,

The free event includes a Creepy Crafts workshop in the centre’s St Mary’s Arcade, where youngsters will be helped create their own Trick or Treat bags, ready to fill with goodies.

Church Square Shopping Centre Manager Steven Brogan said: “A lot of our stores will be taking part – they’ve already decorated their windows for Halloween and we’re expecting lots of youngsters to join us on October 31.

“We wanted to offer somewhere safe so children can enjoy their half-term and Halloween fun – we know that the centre always very popular with families at this time.”
