Looking for some free fun and entertainment to keep your little ones occupied in Welwyn Hatfield this Halloween half-term?

Then head down to The Galleria in Hatfield until Sunday, October 30 for some spooky fun.

Join one of the shopping centre’s free wicked workshops and train to be a witch’s apprentice.

These sessions will show your little witches and wizards some truly spooky skills.

They can learn how to make all sorts of hocus pocus potions or create their very own Halloween dream catcher to help capture scary dreams.

Take your kids along to the frightful fancy dress area, where they can discover their favourite costumes and props from the shopping arcade’s box of tricks.

Once they are all dressed up, the youngsters can show off their scariest poses for a picture in The Galleria’s ‘spooky selfie’ Halloween frame.

There are even prizes for the most fang-tastic fancy dress.

Ellenor Penny, marketing manager at The Galleria, said: “Don’t miss out this October half-term, as The Galleria is going to be spooktacular!

“The costume competition will be lots of fun, and the witch’s workshops are sure to unlock your magic side.”

For those who really want to get into the Halloween spirit, there will even be a costumed face painter at the weekend to give you a ghoulish makeover.
