Join the halloween hunt

25th October – 2nd November

Mr Halloween is in a frightful fix—his spooky sidekicks have vanished, and only they know the secret password to unlock his legendary candy vault! Collect a trail card* from the Customer Service Desk and embark on a ghostly adventure around the centre. Your mission: track down all 12 mischievous sidekicks, count the creepy crawlies lurking in the shadows, and crack the code. Once you’ve solved the mystery, return your trail card to the desk, say the password… and claim your sweet reward. It’s a spine-tingling quest for little monsters and brave explorers alike!

*£1 cash contribution to The Pied Piper Appeal per trail card.
