Suitable for families with children aged 3-10 years old, this event is a great chance for the little ones to get dressed up and have a spooktacular time. Under 3s can also join in on the fun with their parents’ supervision.
Kids can sink their fangs into scary scones, coffin sandwiches, crudités and terrifyingly tasty sweet treats, paired with an orange squash before getting stuck into the activities. A spooky gourd decorating challenge and fun games with the Dobbies’ ‘monster’ will have children totally immersed in the Halloween fun.
Adults can sit back, relax and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea with a sweet slice while the kids play the afternoon away. They’ll have the choice of a chocolate orange roulade, coffee and walnut cake or Persian lemon cake.
Dobbies' Events Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, is looking forward to seeing everyone strut their costumes and get stuck into some Howl-o-ween fun. She said: “Our Little Scare-lings event is a great opportunity for families to get together and celebrate Halloween.
“Little Scare-lings takes inspiration from our Little Seedlings programme and has been very popular with families across the UK in previous years, so we’re encouraging customers to book in advance to save any disappointment.”
Dobbies’ Little Scare-lings event takes place on 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27 October and is priced at £10.99 per child and £7.50 per adult. Bookings can be made at dobbies.com/events.
Dobbies offers a full programme of autumnal events. If you’re looking to create a stylish Halloween decoration, the garden centre is hosting Planting and Afternoon Tea: Autumn Edition, with the chance to create a pumpkin succulent planter where you can make your very own display to take home (worth £40). This takes place on Tuesday 8 and Saturday 12 October and is priced at £45 per person.
Customers can also gather the family for a pumpkin picking experience. Dobbies' Pumpkin Patch experience is kicking off on Saturday 19 October across 20 stores, offering children the chance to enjoy activities, seasonal treats and pumpkin of their choice to take home, priced at £9.99 per person.
Known for its love of dogs, Dobbies has also introduced a Pup-kin Patch for those who want their pooches to join in the fun. Priced at £8 per pup, this event allows dogs at Dobbies to explore the Pup-kin Patch and pick out a Halloween-themed toy to take home before getting their photo taken in an autumnal setting by a Dobbies colleague.
