On Wednesday, October 23rd, Time Square will come alive with creepy creatures as the Go Wild Halloween Camp returns to Warrington Market. From 10 am to 3 pm, families can meet a selection of unusual animals and enjoy the Spookysaurus Party walkabout in the square, adding a prehistoric twist to the Halloween festivities.
The excitement continues on Thursday, October 24th, with a Family Halloween Party featuring a Looby Lou bingo session, musical performances from the Hocus Pocus tribute act, The Sanderson Sisters, and free face painting in the square. It’s a perfect way for families to celebrate together.
