Halloween is just around the corner. For most, this probably means dressing the kids up, carving the pumpkin and taking them trick or treating. Perhaps now it is time for something new and to give the children a change. Well this year, the fun and festivity of Halloween is coming to Walton on Thames’ Heart Shopping centre. For the first time, on Saturday 31st October, The Heart in Walton-on-Thames is going to have a fun packed Halloween workshop completely free of charge, where children will be able to make all sorts or arts and crafts such as spider and bat puppets, witch and devil masks and much more. Not only is it a chance to do something new, but it gives the kids a chance to meet other children and enjoy Halloween with them. Snacks and refreshments will be available too. The workshop will take place in the roofed mall, and will be open between11am and 3pm. Children of all ages are welcome to come, and feel free to still let them dress up, that’s what Halloween is all about! This workshop is going the filled with spooky artistic creations and promises to be devilishly good. So ask all of your friends to come along and pop in, it is something you wouldn’t want to miss...the more the merrier.
