A GARDEN centre near Chirk has announced it will be holding family friendly Halloween activities next month.

Dobbies Garden Centre in Moreton Park will be holding 'Little Scare-lings' from Thursday, October 27 until Sunday, October 30 and children up to the age of 10 will be encouraged to come dressed in their most terrifying costume where their scare-factor will be put to the test.

The centre was inspired to put this on after its 'Little Seedlings' programme and Sarah Murray, the partnership and events manager is looking forward to welcoming families.

She said: "We are looking forward to welcoming families across Moreton Park to our Halloween event.

"Taking inspiration from our popular Little Seedlings programme, Little Scare-lings gives children the chance to join in some fantastically-spooky fun."

Children will be rewarded their own scare certificate at the end of each session and take part in making their own monster plant pot.

A spokesperson said there will be food which both children and parents would be able to enjoy.

They added: "Children will have the chance to perfect their scare tactics, showcase their monster strut in a group parade, and take part in making their very own monster plant pot to take home.

"Dobbies will award each child with their very own scare certificate at the end of the session.

"In addition to the activities, there’s the chance to enjoy some tasty treats, with fish fingers and tomato pasta on the menu, with gluten free and vegetarian options also available.

"Children will also receive a Halloween cupcake.

"Adults can enjoy Dobbies' ever-popular afternoon tea, with a selection of finger sandwiches, mini cakes and baked slices, plus freshly-made plain and fruit scones with jam and clotted cream.

"They will also have the option of a pot of tea or small coffee.

"For those looking for a sweet treat, there’s the option of a cake and drink ticket."
