Dobbies to host Spooktacular events this Halloween

For a frighteningly good day out for the whole family, Dobbies’ Halloween Spooktacular is taking place from Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October in selected stores. Families can enjoy a spine-tingling time of tricks and treats.

 

The popular Halloween event is the perfect excuse for children to don their best costumes and get into the spirit. As well as tucking into fang-tastic treats, there’s the chance to get creative with a creepy craft activity before enjoying a host of ghoulish games.

 

There will also be a fancy-dress competition, so boys and girls should come dressed to impress for the chance to win a prize. 

 

Children can also choose a dish from Dobbies’ Spooktacular menu to enjoy on the day, including penne bolognese with vegetable sticks, jacket potato with cheese, or chicken goujons with chips and peas. There are also a variety of vegetarian and gluten free options.

 

Grown-ups can also enjoy a slice of the action, with a range of freshly-baked cakes as well as Traditional Afternoon Tea – complete with finger sandwiches, homemade scones and mini cakes alongside a pot of tea or coffee.

 

Graeme Jenkins, CEO at Dobbies, said: “We’re excited to host our annual in-store event. We’re closely following Government guidelines to ensure the event is safe and enjoyable, and we look forward to welcoming our customers for our Halloween party.”

 

The safety of customers and team members is Dobbies’ number one priority and there are a number of safety measures place. All activities at the Halloween event will adhere to social distancing guidelines, with rigorous hygiene measures in place.

 

Children’s tickets are priced at £8.50 and include a meal as well as activities and games. Adult tickets start from £5.99. Advance booking is essential. Customers can Book with Confidence, with a full refund issued if Dobbies cancel the event, and free cancellation if customers need to cancel, up to 3 days prior to the event.
